DUANE SPENCER PROVES THERE ARE SECOND ACTS

By Brian R. Friedman

 

As a sales manager at Don Bohn Ford, Duane Spencer used his calendar for more than just scheduling.

 

“Every time I had a little down time, I would draw something on this calendar that would motivate me to get me through the month,” said Spencer. “I would just discard them, but there was another manager that saw them and loved them.”

 

Spencer’s fellow-manager loved the sketches so much that he would frame them and put them up in his own office. One day, Laurie Reed, owner of Ariodante Art Gallery, came in to buy a car, got a glimpse of the calendar sketches, and asked about the artist.
