About Larry Dillon: He owned a frame shop on University Avenue when I first met him. Nancy Mee got a job working for Larry. He expanded to an art gallery, then moved to 3rd Avenue in downtown Seattle. He was a big advocate for young artists and especially liked prints. Anyone having more information about Larry, please contact.

Comment: Spanning two years of development and about 75 impressions, Little Spaceship Crash was the seed for a larger work. These came out of the movie, Planet of the Apes. I like to tell the story about the path flown by the helicopter filming it, and then my entry into computers graphics and how I learned the X-Y-Z of IT. This print was test of methods I would need for a larger version, then the tests resulted in an edition that stood on its own.
