You're not the first to ask the que...Hi Lasse,<br /><br />You're not the first to ask the question, and I've actually been meaning to write a bio of sorts for my Dad. He's never worked in the comics field before, but he's been doing commercial art for as long as I've known him (and a little before). He still paints murals on motorcycles (and other things) for his main job, but he used to airbrush t-shirts back in the 80s and 90s. Prior to that, he did caricatures.<br /><br />My Mom ran the art store/gallery/mail order shop for many, many years, which is where I found the time to draw all day long.<br /><br />That's the short story, but they both deserve a longer bio.Paolo Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088106827920011644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-9346406743100096812013-03-03T11:39:40.775-08:002013-03-03T11:39:40.775-08:00Hey, Paolo!

I've heard in an interview of yours that your parents have an art supply store but has he done any comic book work in the past for example? And what does your employers think of this arrangement? <br /><br />I hope you find the time to answer, love your work, <br />what else...? greetings from finland!<br /><br />- lasseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-30987064677764026222013-02-27T20:14:40.747-08:002013-02-27T20:14:40.747-08:00Thanks, Sam!Thanks, Sam!Paolo Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088106827920011644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-13110529729905593572013-02-27T18:18:33.847-08:002013-02-27T18:18:33.847-08:00your work is awesome as ever.
