Prelude to a comeup
Posted on by under
Emerging from my Nob Hill apartment with the yellow shag carpet, I hopped down the steps to notice something on another tenant’s door. I was seven and a half years old when I stood there in the breezeway mesmerized by the finely crafted letters that read “Kingz.” The prominent crown over the ‘K’ caused so much alarm that a neighbor actually questioned me if I had been the perpetrator who defaced their property. The hysteria was so alluring that later I was in my bedroom , Super Mario Bros. 3 on pause, scribbling the letters and symbols until I perfected their forms. As my drawing skills progressed I began recording television cartoons and drew those characters as well. This was an early example of how art and technology would preclude(not a typo) my future.
