Yeah, I wasn't really planning on doing that again until I thought, okay, I want to open up my own studio. And that little graphic design studio actually was an out-of-the-shoot galloping success from the time that it opened.

And it was a business school that was one of my first big clients, and they had an office in Ogden. They also had another school in Provo. And the work that I was doing for brochures in that caught the attention of people. their New York office, who was the head of, I guess it was a national chain of these little colleges.

No kidding. But he said, hey, we really like your approach to design and you're making our school look really great. And I thought, terrific.

And we've got this one huge client that will feed us for a long time. Problem was, it took all the money, all the credit that I had to open the studio, get the print shop going and typesetting equipment and things like that. I had to find an outside source to finance this. So I went to a loan shark. And I borrowed at a usurious rate of interest, $10,000, which back in those days.
