Bill Owens As a kid out of the barrio, I am lucky to be able to fulfill my dream of being an illustrator. My advertising teacher in art school told me my family would starve when I turned down a job at a big ad agency to do it, but working at home lets me be with my four kids. I can watch them grow up and make sure that they will all go to college. My wife, Imelda and I are most proud of this. I thank God, my wife and my reps. from the series Working (I Do It For The Money) (1976 (printed 2006))
