When I was young, I was one of
many who dreamed of joining
Jacqes Cousteau aboard his
ship,"Calypso," and sailing
off to dive the world's
oceans... Although I never
realized these dreams, one of
life's amazing journeys took
me to meet the crew of the
Calypso when they were in Maui
years ago. Over dinner, some
of the men laughed when I told
them of my boyhood desires to
be like them... It seems that
they found life aboard the
ship not quite as glamorous as
it looked on TV... Their
dreams? To be artists someday,
like me!

Please enjoy touring around my
humble site... and, using the
email link below, let me know
that you've stopped by, and
what you think of the art...


Tropicalistically yours,
Richard Pettit
