I have questioned his origins. I have tried Klaatu barada nikto". Nothing works. He will not stop. Allan Peterson As an artist, director/curator and teacher I had several concepts in mind when I began designing a site for my gallery. My goal was to create a site that is interactive and a constant work in progress, as in always fresh and not stagnant. I wanted my site to defy ordinary and be about art, education, photography, pop culture, cool stuff, current events, the exchange of concepts and ideas, designs that snap, and most important....communication.
thousands of folks "click on" for a few grins and to modify their maze. Contributors to LantzBytes include Dave, Allen, Blaster, Darlene, Dr. Fishbine, GB, Jerry, Ken, M&M, Merrily, Neil, Wild Bill, Wolfie and many others. Contributors to LantzBytes are the spark plug of the site and what makes it snap, crackle and pop.

My philosophy is rather simple, I believe the arts are universally important because they help us to live and remember. Robert Hughes nailed it with, "Learning to see is as important as learning to read, and reading is not the property of one class". With regard to my images, I feel compelled to absorb as many parts of the world as possible, and then re-interpret what I discover in visual language. Words, philosophy, history, a sense of humor, and imagination that flies beyond the stars, are essential to understanding my work. I have participated in 67 exhibitions, and four retrospectives, in the U.S., Europe and Canada.
