As a youngster he helped clean up Cubs Park in Chicago to get a ticket to the next day's game, and when he wasn't cheering for the Cubs he was playing with a sandlot team -- the North Park Indians. "If it rained," he recalls, "we were sunk -- actually and mentally." The North Park Indians are no more but the artist and his boyhood teammates get together once a month to talk over old times. Ekman, who was born and received his art training in Chicago, has two studios -- one in the city, the other in his suburban home in Glenview.
