Danny Bieman:  

Thanks for stopping by everybody!... LIFE: On a September's day in 1956, a little Jewish boy was delivered to Mr. and Mrs. Milton and Joslyne Bieman at St. Mary's Hospital in Long Beach, California. (Supposedly being born was the fastest thing I've ever done in my life.) I am one of five children (#3 in the middle). We lived in Long Beach, Lakewood, and La Mirada and when I went out on my own, I lived in Orange County. Today, I am in Michigan where I am married to My Love Deborah. We have two dogs; Boo and Shilo. Our boy Boo is a Shiba Inu and our girl, Shilo is part Shiba and Chow-Chow. It's like having a Shiba but with a tighter rubber band and a purple tongue! Recently I was adopted as step-father to My Love's son, Tony, and his wife Samantha. I am so proud and verklempt* at the same time... You know, this gives me full rights to tell all the dad jokes I want. Really, it does! PHILOSOPHY: Life can be good when you're in love and PLAN to stay that way. Love your neighbor as yourself. SCHOOL: My formative years were spent growing up in the neighborhoods of Lakewood where I attended Betsy Ross Elementary, Roosevelt Jr. High (in Bellflower), I started at Mayfair High in 1970, and continued on to John Glenn in Norwalk from 1972 on to graduation in 1974. Those were the days where you were allowed to play Stairway To Heaven in music shops. On graduation day, driving to commencement practice, I crashed my brother's car. I graduated uninjured however his car went to the crusher! RIP: 1957 Dodge Sierra 500 Station Wagon. What a waste of a classic! COLLEGE: I started at Cerritos College in Norwalk in the spring of 1975. I was an Art student seemingly majoring in electives. I didn't complete college like I had hoped although I did take some courses over and the ones I dropped; I attended long enough to actually learn something. So, not finishing doesn't mean you're finished, as I'm still learning lessons even at my tender age. Remember "CC Falcon" the two panel comic strip in the Cerritos College Talon Marks student newspaper? I drew that for about 3 years. WORK: I drew caricatures at swap meets at an early age. Upon figuring out what my 35mm SLR could do...Expand for more
