In the early 1970's, Ross MacDonald failed to finish high school, and it has been downhill ever since. After working for years as a printer, house painter, and other low-end jobs, some of them legal, he descended into the seamy underworld of book and magazine illustration before finally hitting rock bottom with his work in the movie business as a prop designer and consultant on period print and design. He continues to seek out new areas in which to lower the bar.

 

Born in Canada and raised by wolves, he followed the ancient migration routes to Manhattan before finally settling in Connecticut, where he is raising a pack of his own.
