Title
Cartoons caricatures drawn
Description
I was drawing at the very beginning, and people became my favorite thing to draw almost immediately. I was reading comic books by the age of seven, so my figures got more muscular. And STAR WARS came out, and being a nine year old I went ape for the movie, so then I started drawing Luke Skywalker fighting stormtroopers. I don't think I've ever grown out of the fantasy human figure stage.
I drew comic strips for my high school newspaper and was a member of the National Art Honor Society (which may not exist outside of Ms. Sathoff's art classes). I tried my hand at drafting in high school but found that I can't draw a straight line to save my life. At Luther College I was a studio art major and ate up the figure drawing and sculpting classes. The art history classes were my favorite classes, but I also really enjoyed philosophy, history, and political science. It was in the late eighties at college that I started drawing on the Amiga 2000 with a primitive paint program. Man, those pixels were the size of a small pre-industrial country! But I actually managed to sell a few of my computer paintings at the senior art show.
After college and a year working at Toys R Us (I love toys!) I was in Florida and saw an ad for caricaturists. I'd never done caricatures professionally, but I did do a killer cartoon of one of my high school teachers once. So I figured what the hey, give it a shot. I was offered a job to work at Six Flags over Texas in Dallas. I worked there until I heard about the Mall of America back in Minnesota.
