First Post A hopefully brief history of me

Never thought that someday I would be sitting at a keyboard writting about myself and art. I took typing in 9th grade  almost 40 years ago! I find all this tech stuff fascinating and a little strange for a guy who grew up in the late 50's and 60's. I remember Dick Tracy talking into his watch and now people walk around with bluetooths plugged in their ears. Used to be when you saw someone walkng down the street talking to themselves you avoided them cause you know they just might be a touch off? So anyway here I sit. I am almost 54 and learning all these new things so I guess there is hope for us old dogs. I always wanted to be an artist just took a long time. I was the typical kid drawing his way through school not concentrating on anything in particular, just bumping along. Did a brief tour in the Army and decided that being an artist would be way better than a deisel mechanic..Upon getting out I enrolled at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and took a year of fine art education until my money ran out. So ended my formal education as an artist. Will continue on next post.
