Acknowledgements

I carry my art and all the people who helped create it around with me like tattoos. They’ll be with me for the rest of my life.

My deepest thanks goes to:

  • Joanne Franklin, my wife, who’s been on this wild ride with me from the beginning.
  • Leah Mandel and Chris Oliver, who passed away too young, and left me inspired to make the most of my life and my creativity.
  • Marvin Oliver and Joe David
  • Shaun Peterson
  • Preston Singletary
  • Duane Pasco
