Steve hanks actor wikipedia wife

Steve Hanks began his art career at the age of sixteen when his parents moved the family from Southern California to Albuquerque, New Mexico. In California, he had been very active in sports, especially tennis. But devastated by the move to California, Hanks spent much of a year in his room listening to music and drawing posters for music groups.

His posters of the Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Doors sold around the country. At CCAC, he took life drawing, and from that time, the focus of his painting was the female figure. He said there was no way that he could make a living as a year old in California. He stayed true to his original course of figure painting, especially people that he knew, and resisted the landscape and Indian subject painting done by many of his peers.

He turned to watercolors, and though he liked the medium, the market was in a slump, and Hanks needed something new.

He contacted the toy maker Etch-a-Sketch and offered to be the official Etch-a-Sketch artist. With a nine-thousand dollar loan from a friend, Hanks toured the country seeking galleries to represent him. Within two months he repaid the loan and Hanks was able to return to his true love and talent. He also entered museum competitions and won awards.
