I began designing concert posters in 1970 while in high school. Tommy Cook and I started collaborating in 1971 and launched Come Get It! Graphics during the later part of 1972 in the Van Ness Village in Fresno, CA. For the next few years we produced concert posters and offered design services for small businesses that were looking for that hand drawn/lettered “look”. Soon, we were painting signs in the same style to augment our income and satisfy the needs of the retail shops that we were designing for.
