Started out young in life with crayons in tow practicing my art on anything I could get my hands on - including, unfortunately, the hood of my mom and dad's brand new '61 Ford Falcon. From there it was grade school and being the 'class artist' - a title which brings with it getting saddled with everything from helping Miss Peasnicker with the Thanksgiving room decorations to painting all the scenery for the sixth grade play of "Our Town"... |

...On to college
in the late '70s to major in Graphic Communications with a minor in
Beach Badminton and promptly being led out into the big wide world and
thrown to the 'advertising wolves' as a young pup willing and eager
to do everything... from keeping the designers' pencils sharp and their
coffee cups full... to playing the hot seat role of art department traffic
controller where you learn by "trial by fire" taking projects
from point 'A' to point 'B' with a minimum number of headaches and death
threats. I was fortunate to enter the graphic design field at a time
when there wasn't a computer in sight and we had to do things, as Robert
Houseman would say, "the old-fashioned way"... i.e. comping
up ideas with pencil In the early to mid 80s it was time to hop up on a Mac and join the digital revolution. The rest, as they say, is history...

...It didn't take long to forget what design markers and acetate overlays were and how frightening it was to scribble a cryptic message on a tissue telling your printer how you wanted him to create a color fade blend and reverse out the headline to yellow... crossing your fingers that it turned out as you designed it.
