    Lost a friend from childhood today... he was the kind of guy that would tease me to no end as I was the little brother of his best friend (my eldest brother, Steve). He even went so far as to call me 'little Steve' in honor of my brother.

    Both he and Steve used to sit in the art room their senior year pretty much drawing all day (when I was just in 6th grade... our school was so small that it housed grades 6-12). The one hour that my class was in there I was a God amongst the little kids. The two best illustrators in the school were my big brother and his friend Todd and they fucking kept my bullies at bay when I was in that room.

    Todd passed away about 4 days ago due to complications from a bleeding ulcer along w/piss-poor doctoring (the fucks gave him medication he was allergic to). Gone way WAY too young.

    Anyway... I'll miss you, Todd... you're a big reason why I started drawing as a kid and eventually got into graphic design. I hope you're at peace. <3
