Alan: We were brought up in a different time. We were pushing electricity. GE, for a few dollars, practically gave away a torch lamp, a toaster, etc. They made up for it by your use of electricity. It could be found in every home, but we didn't have flourscent lighting. Some homes didn't have a bulb higher than 100 watts. The usual color of dress was Navy, Black or Brown. Color, as it is known today, was just not there.

I spent the early years, as so many in my generation, as a soldier - a tank gunner in the army. I spent 50 years as an engineer/scientist in industry and 10 years as Professor of Research & Development at Drexel University. My workdays started before it was light out. When I retired what I craved was bright colors, humorous moments, good company. The creatures I created are meant to be light hearted and happy. I am very happy when I create them. I hope that you are delighted to view them.

Selma: It was told to me over and over again, "You must develop a notable style." I just couldn't do it. I'm too flighty and too happy and I just have to create. Sometimes it's what I see as I see it, and sometimes it's Mardi Gras Time with everything glittery and going every which way. I enjoy myself....I hope you do too.
