From San Rafael, California on a windy January in 1952, it's been a wild ride. My folks never settled down until long after I'd moved to a cabin I built on a commune in Oregon, but I couldn't sit still -- the wanderlust was in my blood. I hitchhiked to New York City in 1973. There I met my wife on Canal Street and finally found a home.

I learned my craft post-college, spending 20-plus years in the trenches of NYC advertising and publicity as a graphic designer, marker-pen-jockey, art director and copy writer. I served the needs of a wide range of clients from corporate multinationals to non-profits and small retail businesses. I now limit my design and marketing work to book covers and collateral marketing for authors.

Hmmm... that makes it pretty tough. Overall... my very favorite would have to be Mr. & Mrs. Claus. They seem to have a very effective working relationship, both involved deeply in the family business and their marriage is one which has stood the test of time. They also always seem to bring a cheerful attitude to the hardest of tasks. (less)

Richard Sutton Good to hear from you, Dustin!


Richard Sutton I'm going to look into setting up a group for those interested in Irish-themed literature, fiction and writing. Let me know if this seems like something you'd be interested in. I'll try to secure some interviews with writers in the genre, etc.
