+Schenkel dropped out of the Philadelphia College of Art and went to [[California]]. There he encountered Zappa several times and even visited the studio where [[Freak Out!]] was being recorded. He returned to Philadelphia in the summer of 1966. In the spring of 1967 Zappa and the Mothers arrived in [[New York]]. At the suggestion of his girlfriend [[Sandy Hurvitz]], who studied with them at Philadelphia College, he showed his promotional artwork and cover designs to Zappa.
 <blockquote>
-When I first met him in New York, the art studio was in his apartment – but that was only for a brief period. I didn’t actually live there, but I would commute to work at his place. When we moved to LA when he had rented the log cabin, I had a wing of it. It was my living    quarters and art studio, which I rented separately from him. There was probably more of a chance to fraternize when I lived in that close proximity than when I didn’t, but even when I lived in my own place I’d be hanging out a lot and listening to what he was doing with the music. I think that it was just that I happened to fit the mold. I’m not sure I totally did understand it, but it just happened to coincide with what I was doing. I liked working in a lot of different directions and doing very eclectic stuff and working in different styles and Frank was doing that with his music.
