One sunny day in January, Art Center College of Design handed Fred a BFA in illustration. That led to a long career as an advertising copywriter, a short one as a radio producer and audio engineer, and a new beginning as a writer, artist and illustrator. He - and please pardon him for writing about himself in the third person - lives in Brooklyn, New York with his wife and son.
