Each one of these sites in one way or another has been a key to where the art and writing has gone. Memphis College of art was vital in my summer experience as a teen growing up in Memphis.They supplied me with a space and an outlet for my art and the attitude that I held inside until a brush was in my hand. In later years I was introduced to a number of other schools styles and finally in 2000 graduated with a BFA in Illustration from Otis College of Art and Design. Later also attending the MFA program there as well.A few final words about Hearmeoutnow.com I have been somewhat of a consultent to the owner of this site as well as an advisor. My journal appears there aswell. So, take a look and if you need advice you will find me there under the name Owize1.
