It has to start somewhere for all of us.  For Hall of Fame Artist/Designer, Steve Stanford, it began at a library in St. Louis, Missouri when he latched onto the October, 1963 Issue of "Hot Rod" Magazine. Steve is not only a superb Illustrator, but a fun guy to spend time with.   He and I both have St. Louis as our Hometown, and, as this Interview takes place you'll hear Steve's story of how he first got hooked on Rods & Customs, how drawing came naturally to him, AND, who was the key player in getting his first pieces of  Rod & Custom artwork published. This is one Interview I thoroughly enjoyed doing and you'll see that we both had fun with it !     JK            (Above: St. Louis After Dark, in Steve & Jonnie's Hometown, Featuring the World-Renowned Gateway Arch ! )            (Above: Jonnie (left) and Steve (right) Crusin' in Jeff Myers' '57 Caddy Seville ! )       (Above left & right: Steve's Sketch Pad renderings of a couple of cool 70's Dusters !  Rod AND Custom !! )
