From the time I was a small child I was fascinated with technology and attracted to complex mechanical toys and devices. My favorite toys were Legos and other construction type toys. I also liked electric trains and car sets. In fact anything that you had to put together to make it work is what I liked to play with the most. Some of the TV shows I liked were: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and of course Star Trek. I liked cartoons like Gigantor, Astro Boy, and Speed Racer. I was also a fan of Gerry Andersons Thunderbirds. My preference for technical things are reflected in my drawings from those times. Please see the next few pages.
