When I was a kid, I loved to draw.

I liked to draw the same things over and over.

I went away to college at Brown University, and took classes at Rhode Island School of Design.

Looking for a job, nothing was quite right.

How could I get paid for being an artist?

I took my portfolio all over town.

And showed my drawings to everyone.

One day my big break came.

Someone hired me to draw pictures for a children’s book.

Then I tried my hand at writing.

Soon I was writing stories AND illustrating them.

When I’m not working, I ride my bike and go to flea markets.

Write, and tell me what you like to draw.
