Carmelo spent 45 years working as an architect across the country. He delighted his colleagues with caricatures that captured their quirky features and foibles while documenting hilarious moments on the job. Pen and ink are his favorite drawing tools and those served well to capture both Terry Trackhoe's wild shenanigans and the elegance of Japanese castles and shrines. Retired and living in Florida with his wife author Mary Linda Miller, he teamed with her to produce their imaginative series Terry Trackhoe's Adventures.
