David on his Art Deco Pen Design:"I have been fascinated with the Art Deco movement for many years, especially the architecture. Tall skyscrapers with geometric lines are awe inspiring! The city hall in Los Angeles, the Empire State Building, the Boston Ave. Methodist Church in Tulsa, the Texas & Pacific RR terminal in Ft. Worth, and the ultimate expression of Art Deco architecture, the Chrysler Building! I enjoy the challenge of putting these architectural elements onto pens, and hope you enjoy creating pens around these components."
