Kirby Cobb’s Summary
My mother was an illustrator for Hallmark and my father was a chemical/plastics engineer for DeLorean Motor Company. As their spawn I have successfully been able to bridge the gap between their left and right brain lives…and I’ve done this with the help of computers.
From my father I got the ability to learn things very quickly. It’s a matter of being able to see and understand the system of whatever puzzle I’m studying and then apply the necessary logic creatively.
From my mother I got an obsessive need to make sure all the paintings are hanging straight and an appreciation of color and design balance.
