I drew pictures even before I started to read. My father bought some paper but I used it up in no time. So then I went out in the woods and cut some birchbark and covered that with drawings. It was fun to be behind the big kitchen stove on a rainy day and draw pictures of cowboys and indians, ponies and broncos. At that time in my life I had three ambitions: to be an artist, a poet, and a cowboy.
