This
site, and all of my artistic enteavors are dedicated
to my grandfather, Wilton D. Wilton
Sr. and my grandmother Crystal.
"Papa" was an Artist, Author, Haberdasher,
and Director of musical theatrical productions,
and he gave me my first art and creative writing
lessons, my first camera, and my first computer.
They both inspired all who met them to be more
decent, loving, and patient with the world around
them. |
|
This
site is also dedicated to my father, Wilton
D. Wilton Jr. and his wife Carolyn.
Dad
gave me my first hi-tech job, when I thought
I was lo-tech, placing me firmly on a career
path that would take me full circle with my
artistic endeavors and allow me the financial
freedom to truly pursue my creative dreams.

This
site is additionally and especially dedicated
to my mother, Sally Phillips,
and her husband Howard.
As
a pioneer single parent, Mom somehow managed
to raise her two very precocious sons virtually
single-handedly to become well-rounded individuals,
all the while earning her doctorate and maintaining
a prestigious academic career! She gave my brother
and I a taste of Austin in the '70s and encouraged
us to discover our own path to becoming who
we are today. She remains an extraordinary woman.
Howard
too, is a really great guy who has been a radio
DJ, lent his voice to TV, sings barbershop quartet,
and recently starred in theatrical productions
in Houston. His wisdom and encouragement since
my teens has been very motivational.

I
must further acknow-
ledge Twylyte, who lived with
me for all of his 18 years, always uncondi-
tionally providing his special kind of support
and love. He is truly missed. |
|
I'd
like to also thank my good friend John
Maffei, for many years of expert advice
and rewarding friendship. |
|
I'd
like to additionally thank my brother Jeff
Wilton, the Webbs,
and my very good friends Terry Barnett,
Steve Muir, Motorcycle Mike,
Ryan Baroné, Robbie
Caponetto, Rob Dittrich, and
many other close friends and family too numerous
to mention, for their constant support, encouragement,
and assistance all through the years. |
|
Lastly
but not leastly, I'd like to thank my dear friend
Alan Pappé, the "famous
photographer in seclusion", for his kind
friendship and inspiration all these many years.
His recent departure from this world on April
30th has left a hole that cannot be filled.
His vision and warmth are greatly missed by
all those whose lives he touched. |
