pretty much exactly this

I’m in Chicago, 1992.

Checking out the city before moving there to go to School of the Art Institute. I’m still IN high school here tho. This is like March. Well, I didn’t end up there long term, no.

Note the U2 Achtung Baby tee and leather jacket, which I’d custom painted. Yes, those are Chili Pepper symbols.

This couldn’t be more early 90s if it was Pauly Shore in the pic.

Note also how I have my tee shirt masterfully tucked in. The sure sign of a man that knows how to win win win. Livin the dream. Drinkin shoplifted Mad Dog in the parking lot of a Rollins Band / Corrosion of Conformity show.

And hair would do this thing where it would phase through colors on its own. Sometimes really light brown, sometimes reddish brown, sometimes really dark brown.

When I was a wee lad, it was blonde as hell.

Dude I had an X cap later that year. Lol. And an eyebrow piercing. I may have been in Ned’s Atomic Dustbin at some point too but my memory’s a lil fuzzy.

I was so … cool.

No wait, that’s not it. I was srsly about as artfag as they come.
