back when it was so dangerous I wouldn't get off at that subway stop...ever! Lots of junkies hung out there, before it became a Farmers Market and a kiddy playground.

I went there to become a fashion illustrator but switched to general illustration since one of my teachers said photography took over fashion illustration. It also took over general illustration I discovered later. I ended up becoming a teacher. Artists are a dime a dozen and make slightly less than teachers. I really know how to pick careers, don't I.
