1974 - 1975 TRADEWINDS
Although I had been inking cartoons for the school newspaper since the 6th grade, my first published and archived work is from the Lake Worth High School Yearbook (I was also the editor). In addition, I produced, filmed and edited multiple Super-8 films (some animated) for class projects. All received A+ grade and I received an "Outstanding Achievement" award and a small art sholarship. Mother threw all the films away so they are lost forever.
