really young, although, i don't think i fully realized what it meant until i was much older. one of my first memories was of my parents painting the walls of my room white, giving me a bunch of paint saying "go nuts". i'd paint whatever for about a year then they'd take photos and paint it white again for me to start over.
when i was 12 i began designing furniture for my uncles wood shop. in middle school i designed our schools logo after i won some b.s. "art" contest 3 years in a row. i was hired by our school and just about every small shop in our town to design/paint their logo onto something or another.
in high school all i wanted to be was a comic book artist. in college i went to the wrong orientation class and was turned on by "new media" . 15 years later i have a shit portfolio and am a cd. so, that's about right.
when i go back to my hometown (rarely btw) i'll sometimes run into a friends parent's that i went to school with. they'll say "please tell me you're still doing your art..." and i'll smile and say yes and they seem so happy that i'm still doing it.
- don't know why i typed all of that. i'm extra bored today on a call with a bunch of i.t. nerds.kona
