I graduated from high school in 72 and wanted to study fashion design . But all the fash ion design schools were in New York City where I decided I absolutely could not live . "The Art Center College of Design" in Los Angeles was the only one that hild something close to what I wanted on this coast. So I got myself accepted into their fashion illustration dept. I decided all you needed to design was to be able to dra w well . Since I got out of school in Feb. 75, I've just been trying to find time to work out all the ideas and projects. I'm also trying to make a living freelancing (which isn't easy). Most recently I've been making things out of wood and selling them.
