- Bio
- I have always been described as a person of artistic temperament or was autistic? In either case I completed my first major artistic work at aged six, a mural eight feet in width and eight feet in height. It received mixed reviews by the critics, my father thought I should be richly compensated with a spanking. While in my mother's more critical view, appreciated my concept of scale and also of rage. I continued my artistic endeavors throughout school specializing in faculty caricatures
While I achieved some notoriety in these endeavors it did not give me the attention I was seeking. My parents on several occasions were asked by faculty members to come and discuss how such talent would appear in a child so young. Through no small measure on behalf of my teachers I was taught my letters and became an elementary school writer of some acclaim. They had erred, they had taught this boy a word, a word that should have been kept secret from him. This word should have been granted to him only after graduation in a sealed envelope, the word was satire!
