From Los Angeles Times September 9, 2014

June 13, 1936 - September 3, 2014 Max Allen was born in Grayson, Louisiana to his loving parents Max 
and Mabel McDonald. The family moved to Tallulah, Louisiana, where he had a Huckleberry Finn childhood. 
Max was educated and trained in graphic design, illustration and fine art painting at Louisiana 
Polytechnic Institute in Ruston, Louisiana and Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, 
he had a 53-year graphic design and illustration career while water color painting in his spare time.
