I was caught playing with my balls in 1972. (Wasn't I a cutie?)
Here I am with my best friend in high school Danny D'Angelo NOTE: Danny started drawing a cartoon called "Super Flea" which inspired me in many ways to create Mr. Doobie! Thank you Danny and thank you Super Flea!(visualize Mr. Doobie with boots and an Uzi 9mm Machine Gun)
My senior class photo taken in 1988. (What an 80's stud!)
I started college level theatre when I was 10. Here I am playing Dr. Einstien in our interpretation of "Arsenic and Old Lace".

When I was a summer camp counselor, I had a chance to meet with the future district attorney of New York, Benny D'Angelo (age 11). Photo taken 1995.
After a wonderful conversation with Benny, I took advantage of the opportunity to get into the mind of Richard Bach in his wonderful book "Illusions" (age 11). It wasn't until several years later did the photographer approach me with these photos. Aaron Dodell, "Thank you!"
One of my campers described what I looked like to their mother. (Who just happend to be a professional cartoonist living in Paris, France) The Punisher armed with hair clippers and an electric guitar.*artwork by Sue Davis 1995*
Cartoonist's Note: Never play with your pets while you have a case of the munchies.
When I drive around in my 1970 VW type II transporter bus, I like to carry a spare tire and a spare snowman.

This is a sketch of me made by a gentleman from the island of Samoa. If you recognize the signature please have him contact me so that I can thank him and give him credit! My muscles aren't quite that big, but I'm working on it!

My philosophy on life is simple, have fun and don't ever stop asking questions.

"It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look . . . To affect the quality of the day -- that is the highest of arts."
