Push & Pull Exhibition in Austin Voyager

Hi Paul, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
In an elementary class of 30 kids, there were only three or four answers to the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Except for me. I knew already. My mom would give me four sheets of typewriter paper to draw on, and then I could go ask for more. I drew tigers for the middle school yearbook. In high school, I learned tools and techniques to draw photo-realistically and drew my friend’s kids and their cars. In city college, I took every art class they had, some several times. In state college, I spent as much time in the Library with $500 art books as I could to be sated . . .
