First about me
My name is Linda Lee.
I was born in England, and lived in Staines, which is near London on the river Thames, with my mum and dad, brother and three sisters.
As a child I was always drawing and at school the art room was my favourite class room. I would draw anything and everything I saw and made up stories to fit the drawings. My first commission was for a class mate in exchange for her doing my maths homework!

The only thing I wanted to do when I left school was to go to art college and become an artist.

So when I was 17 years old, I went to Guildford and then Farnham School of Art to study painting and sculpture.

But instead of finishing the course, I went to live in Holland, only for a couple of years was the plan, and there I studied illustration at the Rietveld Academie of Art in Amsterdam.

Then for the next thirty years I illustrated for many Dutch publishers, children’s books, school and educational books and magazines. During that time my beautiful daughter Lisa was born.

Now about ‘It’s Another Day’
My husband – journalist and photographer Hans Frederiks – created our weblog: www.thefredlees.com back in 2005 to publicise more of our photos, articles and illustration projects and where I began ‘A drawing every other day’ in 2011.
For the first half year I actively posted a drawing every other day but, for many reasons it grounded to a halt, for me, and lay dormant for ages!

Until a few weeks ago we decided to breath new life into ‘A Drawing Every Other day’ and my very own weblog ‘It’s Another Day’ was born!

‘It’s Another Day’ is a digital sketch book, note pad and diary, filled with anything and everything that I see and that comes into my head – sound familiar?
I’ll try and post regularly, maybe every day, maybe every other day but if not today then definitely… another day!

Pssss… and after more than 40 years I’m still living in Holland and alive and kicking in Amsterdam!
