A quick post….
In highschool there were few people who really “got me”. Among those that did was my best friend, T. His artwork has always been a huge inspiration to me. He was so incredibly talented and creative, and I learned a great deal from him. Fortunately, life hasn’t ground that talent and ability out of him.

GAS134’s need for anonymity), and his work has left impressions on a lot of people (probably more than he realizes). I’m glad to see he’s living the dream and keeping his spirit healthy through expression. And folks, graffiti is art. I’ll leave you with a couple of stencils that T did:
