After 20+ years, I catch up with an old college friend from animation class! We talk about how much the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market has changed, the highs and lows of being an art vendor, his early work on Gary Space (which later became Final Space on TBS), how COVID surprisingly turned things around for him, and our shared love for retro gaming. It’s a chill convo full of laughs, nostalgia, and real talk about the creative grind.
