Since the age of 8-years old, I've been drawing. The first thing I can remember drawing was Fred Flintstone. I remember copying it from a color book onto a blank piece of paper. I waited for my mom to get home and I was so excited to show her what I had created. Her reaction was surprised and a bit of disbelief. She almost couldn't believe that I had drawn something so well. My mom sat me down, placed another blank piece of paper in front of me and asked me to draw it again. I proceeded to do so. When I finished the 2nd drawing of Fred, she looked at me and told me "Okay Junior, I'm going to put you in art classes". That's when my lifelong passion got it's start.
