Topic: Stuff and Nonsense
I’m slowly working through archiving my old files, and I came across this artwork done about 15 years ago (yikes!) by a friend in college. The “hotrod” line is a reference to the ‘68 Lincoln Continental I souped-up in my motorhead days.
It was drawn by Joe DeRisi. I lost touch with Joe after graduation, but I came across an article about him in Wired magazine a few years later. And then I ran into him at Stanford when Maria and I first moved back to CA. I just Googled him, and he’s moved on to some impressive things. There’s the DeRisi lab at UCSF, and he won a MacArthur fellowship last year.
