Started Out Life As A Child

Started out life as a child

Cuter than the average bear if I do say so myself

Grew up in a small town across the river from Montreal

My teenage years weren't all that happy

Had an inferiority complex for some strange reason

Started working in a bank right out of high school

But knew I wasn't cut out to be a banker

Met an old schoolmate one afternoon

Told me he was working as an apprentice in an art studio

And that surely sparked my interest

Always enjoyed doodling in my spare time

To make a long story short, I took the Famous Artists Course

A correspondence course through the mail

Two or three lessons into it

Along came the opportunity to be hired as an apprentice

In the art studio of a large engraving company

I jumped at the opportunity and the rest is history

My career as a graphic designer was launched

The more successful I became

The more my inferiority complex gradually disappeared

My success gave me the much-needed self-confidence

That one has to have to successfully get through life

There you have it... my story, such as it is

Not the most inspiring but at least it was uniquely mine

I am no longer that insecure soul from many years ago

Which perhaps you've noticed!!!
