November of 2004 saw Gershom’s first experience in the public exposure of his artistic abilities when one of his professors encouraged him to answer an advertisement of “artist needed.”  With further encouragement from his girlfriend Emily and his best friend Tim, he pulled together a quick portfolio, contacted the business, and scheduled a meeting.  Over the next six months, Gershom continued to draw for the business and eventually secured a short-lived full-time employment there until, in July 2005, the business relocated to Lake Charles , Louisiana .  Though invited to move with the company, Gershom opted to remain close to his family and explore the local options of DFW.                     << previous
