BIOGRAPHY:
Roy started his art career as a child. He would copy pictures of comics from the funny papers. As a teenager, he would stand in the corner of the Post Office, pretending to read a book. Actually he was quickly sketching people waiting in line.The war came and he went to serve his country. He was wounded. When he returned home, he couldn't do physical labor. He got his high school degree and went to the California College of Arts and Crafts. After he graduated, he went to work in San Francisco doing displays for J.C. Penny's Department Store. He was given an opportunity to take a position at the Walnut Creek store, but he turned it down. He wanted to do art.
