INSPIRATION
Jessi Alexander* is Royce’s primary photography influence. Also artist Syd Mead, photographer George Hurrel, and Ken Dallison, a water color painter.
CHALLENGES
Early in Royce’s professional career he was called in to be an expert witness on a trade commission case/trial. That experience greatly challenged his faith in the judicial system. Secondly, Royce designed a product for the medical field that showed him how the ‘system’ really works.
SPECIAL VEHICLES
1956 Thunderbird That was bought new by Kirk Douglas and Steve Foster’s 1971 440 Magnum Challenger from the Movie Vanishing Point.
WORDS OF INSPIRATION
We all like to think we are Bugs Bunny when in fact we are actually Daffy Duck.
