About Sawfish OnlineGrowing up in a small town surrounded by cornfields west of Chicago, the rare times we made it into the city I immediately recognized there was a different energy. The landscape was different, the pace was different, the smells were different and the attitudes were different. The one thing I equated to all of that was the billboards. Whether it was along the expressway or in the terminal corridors at one of the airports or on top of the buildings across the street of Wrigley field, the messages, the colors, the designs and the people on the billboards meant the big city, adventure and excitement.
That creative energy escaped me only once – when at the age of 17, I entered the collegiate world of electrical engineering. I had no idea what I was thinking, but distinguishing the colors on the tiny little bands on the tiny little resistors was near impossible, and many things in the lab start to smoke or start fire. Before I flunked out, I bowed out disgracefully and headed home. |
