What did you do after school [college]?
“We played basketball in the european leagues for a while – and we were totally racking up the huge stats – bustin on the huge racks – but then we got deported on trumped up cock fighting allegations. after that – we carried a trapper keeper of rad drawings in our back packs and showed em around everywhere. we did a bunch of work for the new york times that first year – for the amazing art director steve heller – which was great. we made some comics – drew some album covers – designed some coffee labels. all sorts of stuff. we were figuring out what we wanted to do. those were the salad days – we were out there every day – making a name for ourselves on the streets of new england. it seems like a life time ago. now its all steak and eggs in hollywood – sleeping on sunset boulevard – texting girls in long beach – we’ve really come a long way.”
