Though maybe unusual for a Columbia University student to sideline as an auto spray-painter? Though not impossible if it was a hobby I guess.

A lot of people feel out of place or too much pressure at univerity and leave that life for a more hands on creative job, given the whole hippie time that seems even more likely so i wouldnt rule it out at all!
