FORe WARDS from R AMROD I NTERNATIONAL P RESS™

R.I.P.ress™

EXCEPT for necessarily bathing every other school day, Deighton spent the first 10 years of his youth largely covered in grime from exploring the cypress swamps, dried sinkholes & bedrock pits of North Florida, likely promulgated by his mother’s early assertion (when he was 3-years old) that it “might be better to draw at your desk than play outside in the dirt,” to which he soundly refuted: “You don’t know ANYTHING about my life, I can do BOTH!”; then soon after stuffed a red bandana full with 2 Chick-O-Sticks, a jumbo pencil, sharpener, pink Pearl eraser, Crayola crayons, lined mini-journal, Swiss Army knife, marbles & a fistful of toy Army men, tied the bundle to the end of a long stick, rolled a tattered copy of his favorite comic book (--DC’s “Our Army At War” No. 83, Sgt. Rock’s 1st appearance--) into his Levi’s back pocket, perched his Yankees ballcap atop his toe-head & hit-the-field to begin his lifelong journey to document the entire world.

After a short but successful stint in his 20’s as a Body Chalk-Outliner for the Honolulu Police Department – After being demoted from their Perp-Sketch Art Department due to all of his suspects oddly looking like Jack Lord- “Manga” style, but then rebounding to be recognized as the No. 1 “Outliner” in the U.S. & all of its Territories (except continental America) – He was next encouraged during a celebrity beach volleyball tournament by his teammate, “Superfreak” singer/funkmaster Rick James, to “look beyond the chalk” & study under the tutelage of his roadie Frank the Butter-Churning Soundman, a happy Samoan-by-way-of-Iowa who taught Deighton the sweet, philosophical science of Amish Rake Fighting, which he mastered quickly, but then was banned from the sport for life after his first official bout ended with an accidental, above-the-neck infraction to his opponent. [Read: Bad eye-gouge].

Later training as a (pro) Super Featherweight Boxer (--very briefly, again, only 1 match--) in Denver at the famous 20th Street Gym, then (licensed) Architect, then Artist (of sorts) to garner larger & more reliable income-streams to fund his world travels (& well after his ill-chosen career as a DoubleRekeying Documentarian at 120 words per minute soon stalled with the popularity of the Windows “copy/paste” function…and Adobe), Deighton steadily gained a passion for the geological sciences, perhaps from his time spent massaging & raking the (sometimes smooth, sometimes bumpy) miniscule details of Hawaii’s asphaltic & concrete pavements, gypsum & granite rocks, sand & lime stones, & soils-in-sedimentation of the Planet Earth with (mostly) Molokai chalk, but also as a result of countless hours in his new Colorado landscapes; digging, studying, documenting & drawing his mineral findings (plus precious gem hunting, too!), all while recalling his Florida swamp- & bedrock-roots.

Literally “unearthed” from Deighton’s vast vaults of collectible cultural antiquities (as it was buried under his carriage house in a vacuum-sealed container particularly designed for preserving his most prized parchments), RAMROD INTERNATIONAL PRESS™ is pleased to present 1 of only 7 known original manuscript book-copies to exist of the (previously uncopyrighted) 1785 “THEORY OF THE EARTH” by James Hutton, M.D., F.R.S.E., our kindred spirit & “Father of Modern Geology,” the REAL inspirator for the thoughtful, poetic manner for how Deighton gracefully interjects (yet integrates) his provocative project designs for the built environment onto (yetinto) our natural environment……………DIG FRIENDLY!
