Curtis: I started working in a print shop in 1989 running presses then got into making stickers using a photocopier, vinyl and an x-acto knife.  Making car stereo logos back in the day for my car.  A few years later I bought my first plotter for cutting vinyl.  I was working at a print shop full time running presses and doing typesetting.  Converting logos to vector was a real specialty of mine.... that and recreating forms with the exact spacing to work with offices using multipart carbonless forms.
