Front Cover - Dick Termes FRONT COVER -- Spearfish, S.D., artist Dick Termes earned an M.A. in art from UW in 1969. For more than 30 years, he has eschewed traditional flat canvases to create his art on polycarbonate globes he calls "Termespheres." Termes estimates he has painted more than 200 major spheres so far - about a third of those by commission - and his work is displayed internationally, from North Pole High School in Alaska to the Tokyo Museum in Japan. "Being an artist can be difficult," he says. "You have to love creating ideas more than anything else, or you won't stay with it. It really isn't the field to go into if you want money. It is, however, the field to go into if you want to feel like you've done something with your life and if you have ideas you want to share with the world."
