• I was a very sickly kid. While I was in the hospital at age seven, my Dad brought me a stack of comic books to keep me occupied. And I was hooked. When my eighth grade art teacher, Mr. Smedley, told me he thought I had actual art talent, I decided to devote all my efforts in that direction in the hope that I might someday get into the comics biz. I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.

  first heard the primal scream in 'Piece Of My Heart,' I was hooked. 'Cheap
  Thrills,' Janis 'Live' with Big Brother And The Holding Company, was one of

  like Janis, in a rock band.
