I am the son of J.W. Mattingly, who invented the Waterpik. A lot of people have claimed to have invented the Waterpik, but my father is the only name on the patent. If you need proof, send me an e-mail to david at davidmattingly dot com and I will send you a PDF of the patent.

@animorphsartist.bsky.social ummm hi!!!?? I'm a big fan!

When I finished my big read-through of all 64 Animorphs books a couple years ago, I commemorated it by buying this print from your shop; thanks for being so active in this community (and a great artist besides)!
