Decades Ago
The change to a new year always gets me nostalgic. I turned 40 years old in August of last year. Four decades. In some ways it feels like a long time, and in other ways it feels like I'm not even halfway to the grave yet. We'll see. In any case, I started digging through some old photos and found some I thought I'd share.
This first one is from 1972. Cold chillin' in the sandbox. That was my spot.
This one is from 1982. Doing my homework. I was a straight A student.
And one from 1992. Painting graffiti characters under bridges in Albuquerque. Anybody remember a rap group called The Afros? I loved 'em.
And here's Joshy and I in 2002 after we saw his girl Vitti (Lady 8er) in a live play of the movie "Re-Animator". We been homies for a minute.
Now it's 2012. Wow. And I can honestly say that right now, I've never had it better. I have the best job I've ever had, working with the coolest people, in my favorite city in the world. I couldn't ask for anything more, well, maybe a new girlfriend. But that's it really.
HUGE thanks to all of you REBEL8ers out there. Without your support, we couldn't have survived the last 8 years. Thank you so much. I'll continue to do my best to bust ass on the drawings to show my appreciation. I gotta keep you laced in the dopeness.
All the best in the new year!
