David Tarlo, the younger son of holocaust survivors, is an artist and an acupuncturist. The academic realities motivating Agony (sculpture) and his doberman’s unwavering devotion, which inspires his painting – Dubi, underscore the four deep secrets of men-playing-games revealed on The Journey – Your Radio Show.
Don Fletcher is the son of a Backgammon professional. An avid player himself, and a former actor now researching the many intriguing aspects of spirituality, Don offers up his experiences in the wealthy gambling houses of New York’s East side, as well as, the many unforgettable characters – arabian princes saddled with pouches full of rubies and diamonds – frequenting Dallas, one of the world’s Backgammon meccas and home of Backgammon Master Malcolm Davis, a family friend.
Their insights, along with those of Ruth and Kirstie Hearn, illuminate Games Men Play In The Coffee Shop. Listen to the Podcast here.

Sculpture - Agony by David Tarlo
This mutilation, David explains, is demonstrative of the vexing issues of war and violence. Abandoned to rust, later to be sandblasted, Agony was painstakingly put together before its heart was ripped out and its abdomen stabbed with a rod.
David Tarlo's Art & Photography
These two brass/bronze pieces are facial derivatives of Icarus, the mythological son of the Athenian master craftsman Daedalus. King Minos of Crete imprisoned Daedalus within the walls of his own invention – the Labyrinth. This genius craftsman would not suffer himself to be a captive. He made two pairs of wings using feathers waxed to a wooden frame, gave a pair to his son, and cautioned him not to fly too close to the sun, since that would cause the wax to melt. Icarus flew and was so ecstatic at his ability to fly, he forgot his father’s warning. The wax melted. His feathers came loose. He plunged to his death in the sea. Tarlo has not yet named these telling pieces. Two-Faced is a possibility.
David Tarlo's Jewelry
Jewelry – rings and pendants, including intricate skulls not shown here – are not to be relegated to arts-and-crafts, David stresses. These are sculptures. They are works of art.
A Sample of Tarlo's Photographic Art - Refractions
Like poetry in pictures, there is an emotive quality to his photographic art – refractions – buildings refracted by other glass buildings across the Dallas landscape.
