Draftsman/illustrator using pencils and pens before using 3D computers in service to various industrial design projects. Illustrated biology text books long ago, and just for fun: cartoons, caricatures and portraits. Now retired in Springfield, Illinois.

The Flatirons! The view out my window when I lived in Boulder back in the seventies. Then the 80's and 90's in Minneapolis and Winona until landing in Springfield, Illinois a couple of years ago.

It's my little brother. We were waiting by a fence where someone picked him up to reach for the handshake. Associated Press wire service was the tech for spreading the photo to various newspapers.

Winona's mayor, Scott Sherman, would be such, but I can't tell from looking in the BYCS web site. His predecessor held at least one 'mayors ride' on a spring evening around town.
