He then retrained in illustration, working for publishers and popular magazines. This led to successful study for a Masters degree at the Royal College of Art, London, England. Since the mid eighties, Paul has taught full and part time in Illustration and Graphic Design in the UK, with guest lectureships in the USA and Sweden. He still manages to engage in his love and fascination of the motorcar.
