...Angeles' Lee Mullican, 32, is a lanky (6 ft. 4 in.), transplanted Oklahoman with prematurely grey hair and a bird's-eye approach to art.

...tumble-down cottage in Los Angeles' Brentwood section, Mullican leads the life of a happy bachelor. His steady companions are three wise-looking Siamese cats, and he spends his time painting in his personal stratosphere. Sometimes it seems a lot more interesting than the world down below. Says he: "You might call my paintings landscapes of the mind. Anything can happen; there can be caves in space, or mountains in the sky, or stars on the ground.
