Around 1989, I started screen-printing posters out of my parents basement. I was burning screens with household light bulbs and making film transparencies at Kinko's. Soon I realized that to improve my print making I needed to find someone willing to show me some tricks and teach me the trade. I wanted to learn by working, watching and helping anyone that was willing to mentor me. I drove to every screen-printing shop within 30 miles and got turned down from every one. I couldn't believe that no was willing to take me on. It truly sucked. That experience made me think that if tables were ever turned, and I had the chance to help someone, that I would.
