GRATUITIES THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

First I wish to thank my ex-wives.

Cherylanne, for our beautiful Tamarie.
Dra, who showed me how to live as an artist.
Connie, who helped me bridge the gap from hobbyist to craftsman.
Joe Lowe, for inventing quiescently frozen deserts and placing small pieces of wood in my young formative hands.
George Coulam, for providing a creative environment, not exiling me after the conflagration, and making it possible to acquire a home in the woods.
Timothy Leary, Ram Das, Tom Robbins, Kurt Vonnegut, and Robert Sharff for spiritual guidance.
Phyllis, for love, faith and shelter from the storms.
Bob Dylan, Robert Hunter, Jerry Garcia, Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Lucinda for giving me reason to pause the Dremel tool.
Aimee, for causing me to reaffirm my role in the universe.
Sonja and Wally Chan, whose passion led them to be the first to digitize my work, research the deeper and often multiple meanings of many of the symbols, find new symbols to intrigue me, and creating and keeping me supplied with tags for all of my creations. Their unselfish support has been a beacon, as their long term love an example. Their gifts often go unacknowledged, but never unappreciated.
Derek Weaver, whose vision and hard work made this beautiful website possible, even if it did take longer then anticipated!

and above all…

Tamarie, whose dazzling glow reassures me it is all evolving and getting better.
