My name is Leon P. Strapko. Dad was also named Leon so Mom put the "P" in to avoid confusion.

I've loved art and design since I could hold a crayon. Always drawing, painting, doing collage, making my own comic books -- "making a mess" Mom called it. I was even enrolled in a special "Art Careers" program in high school. After I graduated from Parsons School of Design I got into direct marketing (where the money was) and was an art director for many years when I finally came to the realization that I'd rather be doing the art than doing the direction.

Better late than never.

I live in New York with my darling daughter Julia.
