There used to be an advert in Greece, and as most greek adverts it was shit. You had Chris Isaak in the background, two 30 year olds bump into each other and remember a time when they were good friends, and were drinking Amstel so they go off and have another Amstel reminding each other of the last time they were together and didn’t have anything better to do/say than drink that piss that is Amstel beer.

Yeah it was shit. Thing is I’m living the bloody advert right now. I was raised in Athens, and I’ve been living away on and off for close to 8 years. Everything I see or do just brings nostalgic feelings of years gone by.

Bumped into a few people from school whom I’ve not seen in nearly 8 years or so, and it was very strange but I guess pretty cool at the same time…and all the time I could hear Chris Isaak in the background. I hate Chris Isaak (probably because of that damn ad series where they raped him completely).

So my parent moved houses early this year, and of course my treasure trove of a room and everything that was in it was moved as well. Needless to say there were casualties of this fine move. My Fight Club dvd (damn man that’s painful), my Iron Giant dvd and I think a couple of books as well. Don’t even want to think what comics they’ve ‘misplaced’.

However while sorting all this stuff out I went through all my drawings, since 1996. That’s a lot of drawings, but what’s really special in my eyes at least is that I can see serious development from year to year. Brings a certain amount of confidence for when I finally get round to drawing ‘Sublime’.
