ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


It is easy for a book like this to become self-serving and lacking in objectivity. I hope we have not done that and I'm particulary drawn to Pietro Castiglioni's audio comment where in reference to my art he says "his artwork is absolutely..." and he pauses... and continues... "among the best". It would have been far too easy to claim a superlative.

A lot of people went to a lot of trouble to provide meaningful commentary and content for this book in video, audio and text format. Many have been collectors of my work for years and many have become, I'm happy and honored to say, good friends. I am deeply grateful to them all.

John Zolomij was to have been the editor but was unable to participate because of illness; as editor of the 10th anniversary book, he has none the less indirectly participated in this present effort. Thank you to Richard Bender for jumping into the breach. And thank you to John Barnes for updating his 10th anniversary comments. Thank you Bob Recchiuti for solving the name dilemma.

Both Michael and James Koka contributed invaluable content. Michael's K20 graphics provided the spark that got things started... his original music provides the beat that keeps it going.
