They no longer dressed like lumberjacks, either, but their outfits had grown more outrageous: scarves, elaborate hats and boots, cut-off or flowing shirts and parachute pant...
“My mother understood my [learning] disability, so she just pushed me towards the arts,” David Paul remembered. “I spent a lot of time in art galleries. She got me a camera at 13, and I’d develop pictures in the basement. I was always doing art, building s**t.
