Vincent P SansoneVINCENT SANSONE HAS ALWAYS LOVED DRAWING. EVEN AS A LITTLE KID. HE STARTED OUT SCRIBBLING LIKE MOST KIDS AND GRADUATED TO STICK FIGURES. WHEN BOYS WERE STARTING TO TAKE MOTORS APART AND PUT BACK TOGETHER, HE CONTINUED DRAWING. HE WAS STILL DRAWING INHIGH SCHOOL. HE HATED SCHOOL AND WHEN HE GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL HE VOWED HE'D NEVER GO TO SCHOOL AGAIN. AFTER HE WORKED IN A FACTORY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, HE WENT TO ART SCHOOL TO STUDY PAINTING AND DRAWING.
