Point taken. As it turns out, dyslexics are problem solvers by nature regardless of their trade, which is why 50% of NASA’s hires have dyslexia according to Vince. They have the talent to grasp a problem without knowing why – such as it is with Vince’s claim that he can master any type of illustration. “I don’t believe that there’s a type of drawing that you can’t do,” he says. Hey, some braggadocio is deserved when your work is appreciated globally.
At the moment, Vince is working on a website to sell his works. He has since gotten an influx of offers from entities from all over the world; poachers, potential collaborators, art collectives, clothing brands, and more. Vince has ignored all of them thus far – he has trust issues (“I don’t know them, so I’m not sure how much trust I should put into them.”) – which is something of a savant quality, we guess. We don’t blame him when growing up with dyslexia can be a torturous experience.
Vince ends our chat on an empathetic note, informing us that dyslexia shouldn’t be treated as a disability by parents. They shouldn’t give up on their kids – “Everyone needs education, but some need a different kind of learning,” he shares, from experience perhaps. As a final piece of advice to those for whom education had failed them, he has this to say;
“Do what you like, and like what you do. You will find your way someday.”
Vince Low is Head Illustrator at Grey Group Malaysia.
