Howard's Story
_______ ~~~1958 to 1967~~~ _______
It took me 9 years from '58 to get a BFA!
Went to San Diego State. BOMBED. Went to SBVC.
Worked at Patton State Hospital for a year.
Enrolled in California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. It is now called California College of the Arts.
Went into the Army. My plan was get in and out as quickly as possibly. Out January 1, 1966. I missed Vietnam!
1967 Bachelor of Fine Art, finally. But I couldn't make a living as an artist; so, I entered the field of commercial printing.
In 1980 I met Dinia in San Francisco, and I said to myself, "If I can get her... I'm going to keep her." Two years later Dinia married me. She is ...Expand for more
my only marriage. Previously, I always knew that I would mess it up.
2002 April Fools Day was my last day on the job. I thought that was apropos. My wife retired a few years later, and now we hang around together all day. I love it.
In 2006 our son rescued a baby Pit Bull about 7 weeks old. The animal had been living under a house with no one caring for it. I had told him, "Don't get a dog." Ha, Ha. And now the dog is with Dinia and me.
I never completely stopped making art, and for 3 years I've been doing some printmaking. Mainly two types: monotype and etching. Will have two prints in a small show in March '09.
See you later... I have to go walk the dog.
