Since Summer's coming to a close and alot of younger folks are wrapping up their summer jobs, I'd like to hear about your first Summer job? mine was as an artist for this newsletter called "Hot Sneakers" our numbskull of a boss came up with this nonsense, but I was the artists and I came up with the logo...and I also drew up alot of the art for the newsletter, which was about four pages deep since we only had two writers. Now these two were polar opposites and I was their bridge because I got along with both of them. anyways, my supervisor came up with this idea of ME drawing up a comic strip named "the bionic ant" and I remember myself thinking"what the hell?" but I did actually come up with a concept and it was pretty cool. I was 16, what was I going to come up with but a bionic ant, so since I had read comic books forever, I came up with something that Jim Lee might smile at,...I tried to do some art like he did, lol. Anyways, I got the workplace exposure while visiting mentors over at Aetna's insurance company. Love the guy, his computer's monitor was the size of the wall, but I loved it. He was using a friggin' Mac at the time, and I had messed with to do my comic in color. anyways I miss my "hot sneakers" crew although one of them turned into a law offender and the other went on to become a lawyer or something.
so......WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST SUMMER JOB?
