Lloyd Dangle

By Mark Kaufman
I’ve had several opportunities to meet and talk to Lloyd Dangle. In fact I have been several feet away from him, my wife knows him from their work for the Graphic Artists Guild, and yet I blew it. I admire Lloyd’s style, and his humor and yet even though I had those opportunities to introduce myself and strike up a conversation I was too lame to do so. What the heck is wrong with me? I have no problem walking up to, introducing myself and talking to most people in and out of the business. I don’t even mind the awkward silences that inevitably stop a conversation dead in it’s tracks, but for some strange reason I declined to talk to Mr. Dangle. I promise that the next time the opportunity presents itself I will say “ Hi Lloyd, I’m Mark Kaufman and I love your work.
