this is an e-mail i recieved along with other lucky recipients. i e-mailed Bob and asked for his permission to post this on the bullboard. here, i will let Bob tell you about it...
"Hey guys and gals, here's my very first graphic job ever. It's from around 1971 or '72. Terrible hey! This was a poster and a business card. It lived as a biz card because it was shotdown.
I found this the other day because the former owner was desparate for it! Don't throw that old carpola out!
Have we all come a long way or what?
Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas.
Bob"

I have an old black and white photo of my first paying job 1966 or 67? Think I was 15 or 16? If I e-mail it to you,you want to add it to the 1st pay page? Maybe you got a bright idea there, sunny.

This is FUN! (and pretty darn embarrassing!) I guess you could say this was my first paying job. I made this even before I worked at Payless as their sign painter, and way before I started my own business. I think I was about 17 years old when I did this, and I remember I got 25.00. Toooo funny! but what the heck............musta been in about '72 or '73

Hey Pat.....that chair your sitting on looks like it was out of your sight while at a Dixie Letterhead Meet...It's not splattered! Was that Bobbie's Dad's Boat? Were you cross eyed after the job?
