1.  Do you use a scissor to cut each tile?
      I score the cans with an exacto knife & they easily break into tiles.

2.  Are your Alumosaics covered with glass?
      I pour epoxy over my Alumosaics that way they are sealed forever and will not break like glass.

3.  How long did it take you to do a piece like Elvis™?
      Elvis took approximately 3 weeks working 4 – 6 hours a day.  His hair was the most difficult part.

4.  How do you choose your colors?
      Just as a painter or illustrator – if I need green I prepare Green cans. If I am working on a red car I will utilize Coke and Dr. Pepper.

5.  What kind of glue do you use?
      I use a glue that stays tacky for months and therefore allows me to change around the tiles until I am satisfied - this is an artist’s dream!

6.  Do you get lots of cuts?
      Not really.  If you know how to use a knife & fork you can learn to create Alumosaics safely. I have created Alumosaics for thirty two       years and I do not have any scars – other than some artistic emotional ones!

7.  How do you choose subject matter?
      I scan the internet for visuals that interest, excite and challenge me.

8.  Do you ever buy cans because you need certain colors?
      I often purchase specific cans for their unique color just like a painter has to purchase paint.

9.  What is the largest Alumosaic you have ever done?
      It was called “outlaw” and was four feet by six feet. The day after I sold it I wished I hadn’t. It’s been 32 years and I still miss it.

10. Do you enjoy teaching?
       Very much! I was quite unprepared for the wonderful feeling of watching other humans enjoy the art form that I created.

11. What was the first piece you ever made?
       It was a profile of an Indian called “yellow feather."  My wife Barbara worked hand and hand with me on this Initial piece in 1980.
