Short and fat. Look a bit like a badger, but with a much kinder temperment. Deaf in left ear, very very hard of hearing in right ear, wear a hearing aid that doesn't really do a very good job. And I can't read lips to save my life so don't tell me, "Have you ever thought of taking up lipreading?" But I can speak well enough abeit with a deaf accent that people seem to think is a German accent, or a South African accent, or a Southern Accent, or a Yankee Accent. No, really! I graduated from NTID in 1980 with a BFA in painting and commercial arts. Dropped out of master program six months later.
I started work for Origin Systems as a computer graphic artist in 1991. In 1996 those scallywags at Electronic Arts outsourced my job somewhere to the far side of the world. Later I worked as a medical illustrator for a small medical center but lost my job to cutbacks. So now I do freelancings whenever I can.

here and I am a Texan myself. The best thing you can do is to go to a community college and get certified in another job or go to your local union hall
