This was made for me by my aunt beth around 1990….

This is a big piece of artwork, all about me, created by my aunt Beth. “Nit” is how I used to say “Clint” when I was really little. “Pepel of the earth” (bottom left) was a long-running joke based on a “sci-fi story” I wrote at once as a kid (see yellow piece of paper behind my head). Yes, I will write down every number in a countdown if it happens in my story. I’m thorough like that. Once, I wrote out the numbers 1 through 1000 for fun over the course of several days/weeks. The 2 pictures of me come from early-to-mid high school (denim jacket and guitar… always). The darker aspects of my personality are represented, as is my interest in astronomy/the nature of things. The drawing looks like me in 9th or 10th grade. And I sure wish I knew where that Misfits shirt went; it had Misfits art by Pushead

BACKSTORY: My parents had a Christmas party. I got to see some of my family that I don’t see often, a friend from Petersburg, and my old next-door neighbors (from 1983-1999).
