My love of X aircraft
I was born in Gardena California 1957, at the age of five we moved to Sepulveda in the San fernando Valley
to help with my horrible asthma condition, our house happened to be in the landing pattern for the larget private
airport in the nation,
the Van Nuys Airport
I will now tell you
my greatest fear as a child, a nuclear war with hydrogen bombs, as I clearly remember JFK getting shot, the
cold war and the monthy emergency sirens which are still standing I hear. The Air National Guard had a base there, and
many times U2 spy planes would land there along with
C-97 cargo planes, Guppy transports and all kinds of military support craft....but the U2 started my passion...which then introduced
me to the
X-15 Rocket Plane.....the fastest most radical-awesome plane ever to fly at that time.
With my first look of the
X-15, I was then on a life long mission to search out and see aircraft that were of the cutting edge of technology and also those planes denied to
exist by our government.....like the
SR-71.
SR-75?

Hyper-X Research Vehicle Program (X-43A)

April 2003 - update - I did in fact see one of the old sirens on Winnetka Ave just south of Devonshire on the west side of the street while driving to a restaurant for lunch.

I love Sailor Moon
I am sorry I did not share more about my love for Sailor Moon.
Here is my Sailor Mars
tattoo. I met Susan Sanchez at the ScifiVine, her avatar was Sailor Moon. I fell in love with her and took Sailor Moon into heart as well. Susan is so smart and beautiful, I was so very happy then. Below is an animation from the ScifiVine community.
Astroboy forever
1964 welcomed to America
the very first Manga from Japan, the details of my best friend will have dedicated pages, here is what you need to know now.
Each day before school I watched Astroboy, each day after into adulthood I sang the theme song in my head, when I purchased my first PC Astro was my very first search....I could not believe that I had in my brain intact all the images and theme song from my childhood protector.
Astroboy took possession of a place in my mind, it was a place I did not want to visit again, a terrible thing that happened to me as a young boy, I do not need to share it anymore, I had Astro tattooed on my arm to protect me forever.
All I touch is as beautiful as I can make it, daily for hours I practice my art, and all I wish for is to make you a graphic that you will be happy and proud to display.
