Transcription
Milton Glaser died, the
one and only. I met
him in NYC shortly
after moving there.
I was amazed to get
to see him. I took
my work portfolio.
The world really
didn't feel a
lot strong to me.
But he surprised me.
He looked at it
and said, "You draw
beautifully. You're
going to be very
successful."
