THE FABULOUS DESIGNER
CHAPTER II THE LOFT Arriving at the loft the following week, a young man named Bobby greets me. He is busy painting silk on one of the tables. Bobby tells me that Michael has left a note for me on the front desk. Upon reading it, I see it lists my tasks for the morning and states that Bobby will train me today.

THE FABULOUS DESIGNER
CHAPTER I NEW YORK CITY 1987 While studying at Parsons School of Design, I got a job as a busboy at the Metropolitan Cafe in Union Square. It was a fun job for restaurant work. I loved the atmosphere and helping out the interesting and glamorous waitresses who were pursuing other creative dreams like myself. The regular customer was a stylish, cosmopolitan type. One of the owners was a Scandinavian supermodel.

SNAIL TIME
I Live on a rock where the sea meets the Earth. My boulder is silver in tone when dry and slate black when wet. I am a Rock Snail, or as you may say -Periwinkle. The ocean's tide is my twin brother and alter-self. For many days I have been trying to tell him of my new concept of time by way of my discrete snail language. With my wet trail, I have been sketching out the figure-eight, infinity symbol relentlessly, only to have him wash over it again and again. I believe he has finally caught on to the meaning and scope of my subliminal messages, as he speaks of it now with enthusiasm to our other siblings, the primal elements.
