SamboRambo

My psuedonymn is Sam Antone. I was here, once, under that name, but a glitch in the affiliate programs resulted in no earnings for 15 months, so I cancelled the account and came back as SamboRambo.

I started writing at the age of nine by making comic-book-type stories: I drew several panels on an 8-1/2x11 inch page, then established the main character as myself: a kid named "Sammy."

I served in Vietnam and visited Mexico, Japan and Chile. I've traveled around as a caricature artist. Sometimes, I didn't know where my next meal was coming from. When that happened, I entered a bar and asked if I could draw caricatures. From that, I got my next meal and enough money to travel to the next town. I feel somewhat akin to Louis L'Amour when I remember my adventures of traveling alone and with uncertainty. I hope to some day feel akin to him in story-telling ability.

In addition to drawing comics, I spent a lot of time writing in a journal, and penning short stories. Thus, I honed a bit of talent for art, as well as familiarity with writing. All of the painted art for my hubs -- except the little girl praying -- was made by yours truly.

Nowadays, when I'm not hubbing, I'm a publisher. I have contact with printers throughout the world, so that anybody anywhere can use my services.
