In 2004 Carol Lay was interviewed by Scene Missing Magazine where she was asked a variety of fun questions including "If you were to draw a rocket ship, what would you be sure to include in the portrait?".
Carol Lay attended UCLA for the fine arts program, it is here that she learned
one course too many in Conceptual Art almost derailed herartistic plans – she stopped drawing for two years and considered a career in computer programming because of her fascination with logic and linguistics – but she stayed in the Arts program and graduated with her BFA. Around that time, her mother asked her to draw some number and alphabet cards for the first-grade class she taught. Carol found her way back to drawing through the pragmatic and colorful cartoons she drew for those cards. She then picked up some practical commercial art skills, first by drawing Yellow Pages ad illustrations, then in a photo-lettering shop. When a friend gave her a crash course in comics, she finally found her calling. The genre incorporated Carol’s skills and interests in drawing, storytelling, logic, and complex puzzle solving. -(Carol Lay)
About Carol
a great choice to stay in what she believed in. As a student, schooling can become overwhelming and sometimes that second thought of switching programs or career paths can become a reality. However she stuck to what she believed in and made a successful career out of it. props.
