"Nature has a lingering impact on me," says Chun. "When I look at a scene, I see such beauty in the landscape, the color and light, I am filled with emotion. So I try very hard to paint what I feel, not just what I see. This way," he smiles, "I can't make a mistake!"
The photos presented here are actually images from the book that is offered; unlike 99% of the limited boilerplate options utilized throughout the online world. We do our best to illustrate exactly what the buyer will receive; rather than to use language that hides the true condition of the purchase. In addition, we provide shipping materials that safely protect the book until final delivery, exactly as shown within our listing. (we never use flimsy plastic bags or inadequate packaging!!).
Saturday’s Toys and Collectibles was founded in 1994 by Southern California author and media historian, Dave Mason. Soon after eBay's launch the following year, Saturday's Toys was among the first online specialists to strategize in embracing this rapidly developing technology. Having delivered over 15,000 coveted treasures since that time, Saturday's Toys is pleased to partner with researchers and collectors throughout the globe.
Today, online offerings of archival keepsakes are presented in celebration of the times that allow for family, friends and neighbors to join in memorable gatherings that nurture the strong connections that bind a community together. These treasures are affectionately represented by "Saturday's Toys." In that light we present our adopted motto (with a nod to the Sherman Brothers): "Oh, let's go fly a kite!"
