Fire & Steel (corrected)


So - some things I am fussy about
Like getting my actual name correct

A couple of minutes with photoshop to fix this. (The published version of this poster lists me as Mark*O*witz.

Look - I have had to suffer under spelling both my names for over 60 years now.
No, its not 'Darren'
Spelt DARYL? - that is a *girl's* name.

No excuse when the information was provided as text in the first place.
Right?
