8 years ago

fresh out of college with a BFA in illustration, my first job was designing and illustrating

pinball playfields, video game monitor bezels and marquees. dream job of mine. unfortunately

for me, that was around 1982, just about a year or so before the bottom fell out of the industry.

my job folllwed not long after that. it was a short but, fun and extremely educational experience.

always wanted a pinball machine from the time i was shorter than they were. sure, i got a stand

up plastic one for christmas during my grade school days. but, we all know that just is not even

close to the real deal. it was not until i was 50 that i finally got my one and only "real" machine.

better late than never.
