Q. Tell me about your background in art. Could you draw nice stick figures growing up?

Since my time is increasingly limited, I paint basically as an outlet when I feel a creative urge. Hopefully, when I invent that cell phone app that makes me millions (damn Angry Birds!), I will have more time to devote to my divine pursuit of artistic mayhem, but until then I will keep Rockin' and Rolling !
