In 2002, a then 16-year-old unknown from Pennsylvania was plucked
from obscurity and made into a national TV celebrity. Brandon submitted
his Anti-Drug online and got picked to appear in a national television
ad for the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign.
Brandon's "Drawing: My Anti-Drug" ad was played
on TV and radio programs across the country and featured in a slew
of teen magazines. We asked Brandon a couple of questions about
his ascent to fame and about his Anti-Drug, Drawing.
FREEVIBE: How did you get started drawing?
BRANDON: "I started drafting and my grandfather saw talent
in my drawings, so I started thinking about it as a career."
FREEVIBE: What are your other interests?
BRANDON: "In addition to drafting, I run cross-country, play
basketball and lifts weights."
FREEVIBE: What would you say to a friend who was thinking of using
drugs?
BRANDON: "I know people that do. I don't approve of it. I don't
try to control it, but it just never appealed to me. They can do
whatever...I'm just not going to do it."
