John Conroy

I've been doodling since I was 2 years old. My first grade teacher sent me home with a note that read

"John needs to stop doodling and pay attention in class"

The words "stop doodling" were underlined so hard that it ripped the paper that this note was on!

I have this note framed and hanging in my studio.
