Educational background

A reader contacted Wikimedia to report that Alan Say is an alumnus of Chouinard Art Institute.

It can be verified in his autobiographical book The Inker's Shadow.

Say, Allen (2015). The inker's shadow. New York: Scholastic Press. ISBN 9780545437769.

If someone would be willing to track that down a could be added to this article and then he could be added as an alumnus in the Chouinard Art Institute article.--S Philbrick (Talk) 13:30, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's stated at

"'The Inker's Shadow' Shines a Fresh Light on a Young Artist's Coming of Age", Pacific Citizen, August 31, 2015

that Say studied three years at Aoyama Gakuin, Tokyo; one year at Chouinard Art Institute; one year at Los Angeles Art Center School; two years at University of California, Berkeley; and one year at San Francisco Art Institute. I was unable to locate graduation information for Say aside from high school.—Myasuda (talk) 15:53, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
