Dick Fosselman:
Dick Fosselman was born in Des Moines, Iowa and grew up in Canton, Ohio. Childhood honors include grade school marbles champion and national runner-up in the Sergent Preston of the Yukon Coloring Contest (Quaker Puffed Wheat, sponsor). As a teen, being an Eagle Scout with the Ad Altare Dei award and assistant scoutmaster were his main interests. After a stint at Ohio State University for architecture and Ohio University for film/liberal arts, San Francisco beckoned with "go west young man." His career began as a professional architectural model-builder until a self-taught passion for creating trompe l'oeil murals became a reality. Even before his design studio RowdyPencil.com established an online presence in 1996, his work appeared in Progressive Architecture magazine, the national A.I.A. Journal, California Living, SF magazine, Northern California Home and Garden, and the San Francisco Chronicle. KTVU-TV2 and KRON-TV4 have likewise featured his work numerous times. Various and sundry endeavors also include teaching at the Academy of Art College, licensing of whimsical products for Burnes of Boston and being voted by the S.F. Examiner readers as "one of the 96 best people, places and things about San Francisco for 1996." His architectural graphics, floor graphics and photo graphics are "guaranteed to make eyeballs stand up and cheer wildly," so claims the motto of RowdyPencil.com. Such eyeball activity, perhaps might include the glow-in-the-dark paint on "Broken Heart, but not heartbroken." See it set your ticker on fire with a six to eight hour glow!
