Glenn 's Story
After H.S. I attended college as a Psych major with a Zoology minor. Hated it. After two years I left school and went into the "real" world. I've held all kinds of jobs.You name it, and I probably did it at one time or another.
Got seriously involved in Kung Fu training for about eight years. Competed in two international full-contact tournaments in Taiwan. Won a bronze medal as a middle weight, and won a silver medal in weapons demonstration. Became #2 instructor in our five Houston area schools.
Worked for many years as a sign maker. Also had some success as a cartoonist. My cartoons were regularly published in humor periodicals during the '90s. My single panel cartoon feature "BuckShot" had a cult following, and I was a staff cartoonist for Seattle's comic newspaper "The Fishwrapper". I worked under the pen name "Buck Dawson" and I continue to go by this name today. In fact, no one has called me "Glenn" in over 20 years (not even my Mom!). "Buck Dawson" is a registered DBA with the City of Houston.
Pets: I've had a few dogs, lots of cat...Expand for more
s, and currently own two small parrots which are an absolute joy.
Still playing bass guitar. I've got some really cool gear nowdays, and just need to find some cool people to jam with.
My first wife died tragically in '97. That had a profound impact on my life, and it took a long time to get past it. Remarried in '02. No kids.
2001-2006 Attended night school and got an Associates Degree in Graphic Art. Then worked for a local company that made skin/bath/body and aromatherapy products. It smelled mighty good at work each day.
2010 summer: began a cartoon blog- "BuckToonz" [buckdawson.blogspot.com] that is developing a worldwide audience. I post every Saturday morning. Original cartoons, commentary, and other fun stuff. Also check out my art on Facebook. Just search for --Buck Dawson, Houston-- and you'll find me.
2011 summer: Returned to college full-time. Attending U of H Central working toward a BFA in Graphic Communication.
Separated from my wife of 9 years. An uncomplicated divorce underway. Will be finalized by the end of the year.
