Thank you to Ellis Myers, who gave me a chance and a lot of education in the graphic arts; to my favorite graphic artist, Ashala; my favorite illustrator, Patrick; all of my instructors and mentors at Cal Poly; Harvey Levenson and Mike Blum, who promised it would be “just one class” they wanted me to teach; to my colleagues Lorraine Donegan, Penny Osmond, Ken Macro, Malcolm Keif, Tom Goglio, Kevin Cooper and Melanie Kronemann; and to Korla McFall, Bob Pinkin and Sabra Scott, staff members par excellence.
