This has been one of those week’s that pops up out of nowhere and adds so much to the value of this site. I’ve recently bee in contact with Mark Bode, the son of artist, and friend of Dean’s, Vaughn Bode (pictured here.) Mark has sold me an original unpublished work of Dean’s along with answering a handful of question I had. This week I’ve added some of what mark has shared and will be adding more in the coming week. Enjoy!
