For those of you who have graced me with that accolade, I thank you. It was my intention to create something that might be accepted universally, and to do so [ tried to get into the mind of the characters and Dworkin, the artist who created their Trumps. In November of 2002, my oldest friend Shaun Hoadley returned to Detroit after an absence of seventeen years. I gifted him with, among many other things, a copy of Amberzine #11. Reading the issue before he left town, he reminded me of loss to metropolitan Detroit’s art and teaching community: one of our college art professors had just passed away, Leo Dworkin. It had been so long ago, that I had forgotten those classes, and his name. So maybe my artistic vision of Amber isn’t so amazing after all—I was taught by Dworkin. Unfortunately, like Corwin, I wasn’t one of the redheads, one of the better students, my trumps are neither warm nor cold to the touch and only take you away if YOUR imagination wills it. Again, I would like to thank Erick Wujcik for allowing me to do this a second time after making the many errors that I did make Jast time. My only defense, poor as it is, is that work in images, not words. I would also like to thank Pierre-Alexandre Sicart not only for all his enthusiasm and work but for his friendship and for being the sort of assistant all editors wished they had. This time I dedicate this issue to Coner and Phelon; I wish I could be there to open the world of words and images for you as it was opened for me.AAMDOTZINe AMOR FRITS 4 uC t 20099 Moenart, Detroit, MI 48234 Oberon, King of Amber Signed photolithograph print for $5.00 plus $5 shipping & handling.
