I'm not sure anybody knows this but I write a monthly column on the web site Pinup Heaven. The column is about my "so called career" in that I've worn several hats in my artistic career. This month the column is about how I ended up working as an art director on Mallrats.
Be warned: It's interspersed with pictures of my pinup art because -well because it's a Pin up Art Web Site at the end of the day.
Here’s a little taste:
After an extremely long day of driving all over Eden Prairie and its adjoining suburbs I returned to the shop for one more pick up. My brother-in-law was going to take it because it was at the Eden Prairie Mall. As usual I had no idea where it was or how to get there. So far that day my dad had pulled me aside several times to ask if I was stoned or just stupid?
“Neither actually, just a little dyslexia with direction in unfamiliar territory, but thanks for the vote of confidence Dad. Jeez”.
Luckily my dad has always supported my odd assortment of eccentricities and decided that if he drew me a map and acted out the left and right turns in some kind of “dad mime” I could (probably) find it. Now firmly convinced that I could handle this assignment I was given the last delivery of the day.
