When I was a just a wee child and my dear old Grandpop asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I unhesitatingly piped, "I want to be an artist!" "You'll starve to death!", came his unswerving reply. He couldn't dissuade me from my lofty goal with his dire precognition. Bearing in mind, now, that Granpop actually spoke like Popeye, but in a deeper register. I believe his vocal inflection guided my artistic inflections, leading me into a lifelong fascination with all kinds of fantastic illustration. Thanks, Grandpop!
