Spotting graffiti in our local town in teh mid 80s. Getting obsessed with the crazy letterforms and the politics of it. Riding around with sketchpad and jotting down little sections, then going home and learning it. That and technical drawing at school, all orthogonal projections and construction lines and 10 types of pencil from 12b through 12h, doing perfect lines and circles and angles, doing calculations by actually doing geometry and learning to think visually, and all. Also being unable to use a tape recorder to load games into my 16k Texas Instruments computer and instead programming to produce little 'movies' of like sprite little men, with a 4 stage walk cycle, coming onto the screen and doing shit, like in a western, or in space, with little bits of randomness and sequenced blippy music. Yir.
