Thanks Bob,
The video was great. I studied his art work 40 years ago and realized the great skill and mind he had then. I am still amazed when I view the portraits he did on small discs of ivory to help pay his way through college. Truly the skill of a surgeon doing such fine small detailed work.

Have a great day

If one takes the view that there is serendipity* in both art and invention, then it is not difficult  to see why he was successful at both.

*the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.
"a fortunate stroke of serendipity"
