From my mother’s womb was I untimely ripped at Lennox Hill Hospital in New York City to Betty and Robert Cottingham.
Grew up an only child on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. Mom a bookkeeper. Dad a scenic artist.
Studied at The Art Students League of New York briefly at age 12, 13, at the same time as I was in the Children’s Chorus at the Metropolitan Opera.
I wasted my youth working for the man.
I’m prepared to waste the rest of my years sticking it to the man.
