This kid started painting at the age of eight. Particularly fascinated with energetic drive and aura of athletes, Malcolm Farley, an ""all-everything athlete himself" cut his teeth painting the world's greatest baseball, tennis, football and hockey stars.
In his formidable years, he traveled the world with his family; gaining cultural perspectives while "putting in time" during his junior high years at 9500 feet in Northern India and other global ports.
