Since there are still hundreds of these gems this seems like a good way to shake out some blog cobwebs and begin\end.
My dad used to say “a dime a dozen” and then a twelve year old me would look at him like he was nuts. I never understood why he didn’t hit the gas and put some sort of portfolio together. He clearly had the skill and the love. Never got it. Of course, I’m slow and it wasn’t until years later when I truly appreciated what the hell he meant 😛
When he died on Maui in November 2012 a dear friend of his shipped me his notebooks before they could be lost. Thank you. I thought I mentioned this the first time I posted his work here, but apparently (lol) not. Anyway, point being a lot of my memories of him tucked away and hunched over at his drafting table are from the early to mid 1980’s. I don’t have any notebooks or drawings that are dated from that time. So, some things did get lost.
