I met Earsnot in 1997 when I was a student at SVA. He stood out then as the smartest kid graffiti writer on the scene. I knew he was headed for something great. He came up to my studio and we did a couple quick jams on paper. I still have this one. He did the funny green man on the right. He was clearly a genius and did not need any instruction about what to do and how to be culturally effective. I'm glad to see he is so successful today. He worked for it.
