"First Came Lunch..." - I actually used this as my cover letter in the early 1980's whenever I was seeking employment in graphic design studios. Doing that sort of work for clients who didn't have a clue got very frustrating and boring for me rather quickly so I only did such work for 3 or 4 years. At one particular art department (part of a printing company) the other graphic artist and I put a sign over our door that read: PROOFS R US. In those days you did it all by hand too! Wax machine, point tape, metal rulers, bristol board, spray mount, camera the size of a railroad car, Compugraphic Mark IV typesetting behemoth, markers, pens, pencils. I still love the idea of ripping, tearing, slicing or cutting up papers and getting my hands covered in wax or glue - okay, glue stick these days when collaging pages in my visual journal! Anyway, that "hands on" experience still makes my heart race when mind-deep in the creative process!
