When I opened that book it felt like I was opening a door into a new life. Dramatic? I agree, but true! I couldn’t bring my self to read anything. The whole thing was like eye candy: colorful images popping out of the pages like a movie playing out in front of me. Like any other well-crafted objects, we tend to forget that it didn’t make itself. Someone drew this. That’s when I thought, “Ptsh, I can do that!” And so began my pursuit. After all, this is America right? The land of opportunity where you can make a living drawing cartoons on a piece of paper. I promised my self a bite from that American dream.
