My first job came the next year at 16.
As a matter of fact, I didn't even have a drawing table or a light or anything because I never had a professional job in my life.
Within a couple of days I got a job with Jack Binder's agency. Jack Binder had a loft on Fifth Avenue and it just looked like an internment camp.
But generally speaking, people weren't fired, art jobs were very hard to get, so something really calamitous had to happen to a person who was working there in order for you to find a space.
