ORN AND RAISED ON THE PLANET EARTH,I WAS A LATE BLOOMER TO ENTER THE FIELD OF ILLUSTRATION. I HAD TAKEN UP ART IN HIGH SCHOOL,BUT NEVER HAD A
INTEREST IN PURSUING ITAS A CAREER( I HATED PAINTING!). AT THE AGE OF 26, I TOOK A DRIVE TO THE CITY. TRYING TO FIND A SPOT TO PARK,I SPOTTED A COMIC BOOK STORE. THOUGHT I'D CHECK IT OUT. TO MY SURPRISE,
THERE WERE MORE THAN THE EIGHT TITLES I HAD KNOWN OF SINCE I WAS A KID...IN FACT, THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF TITLES! I BOUGHT A FEW AND STARTING DRAWING AND SUBMITTING SPOT ILLOS TO FANZINES. ABOUT THREE YEARS
LATER,I QUIT MY FACTORY JOB AND LOOKED FOR WORK AS AN ARTIST. I WAS DOING COMIC BOOKS...BUT IT WAS TO MUCH WORK FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST STARTED TO GET BACK INTO DRAWING AFTER SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME!
I GOT INTO
ADVERTISING,BUT I DIDN'T DO MUCH DRAWING IN THAT FIELD. I MET SOMEONE WHO DID AIRBRUSHING AND WORKED FOR HIM DOING FRISKET CUTTING AND PENCIL SKETCHES. HE BOUGHT A COMPUTER AND STARTED DOING WORK IN THAT
MEDIUM,GIVING UP THE AIRBRUSH. I FIGURED MAYBE I SHOULD GET A COMPUTER AND SEE WHAT I COULD DO WITH IT. IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID! IT OPENED UP SO MANY DOORS. I'VE BEEN DOING
ANIMATION,COLOR ILLUSTRATION(REMEMBER,I HATED PAINTING!),E-CARDS,AND GAMES... |
