I always wanted to be a artist when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a bad idea. As it turns out, they were right.
Make art
Comics drawn by Jack Kirby 1960-1975
If I won $100 million, I'd give 95% of it to charity, then spend the rest on family, friends and myself.
Was a troublesome dorm resident, sorry to say. Quickly moved off campus.
I am what I hoped I would be, only better and poorer.
My best friend would tell you I'm funny, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as serious.
I share my home with Sandra, which I find amazing.
I have received many awards and official achievements but display nothing in my home.
Playing in the woods and open fields...by myself...whole warm afternoons spent daydreaming
