My name is arc Cicchetto AKA Salvatore Francesco Marcese Cicchetto. I was labeled with the Salvatore Francesco by my parents, the Marcese was tagged on at my confirmation and of course, Marc is what I chose to be known as.

As far back as I can remember I have always had my creative side. When i was in third grade, and he became very interested in a male order art class that my brother had purchased. I peruse that book from cover the cover and was really excited about what I was seeing. And of course I tried to imitate what I was looking at in his book.

When I was in the third grade, we lived on the upstairs apartment of 153 East Jersey St., Elizabeth, NJ. Downstairs another family lived and the house had a porch front porch that was three steps off the ground. I had a pencil and paper and I was Trying to draw and my pencil point broke. My father was sitting on the top step of the porch and I asked him if he could sharpen it for me and he took his pen out of his pocket, sharpens the wood to a point and then standard the lead to point on the surface of the step. 

What I drew on that piece of paper I wish I had kept, was a profile of my dad‘s face, and that became my first piece of art that led to my entire future. Since that date, a graphite pencil has been the easiest and the most used instrument in my entire life. I used it to not only Sketch artwork but I use it for doing drafting type drawings as well.
