Jesus Serial what a dick - suggesting he e-mail the guy to get the answer.. wtf!!??! Next thing you are going to do is post a link to his e-mail so he can contact him... <---- sarcasm just in case someone doesn't get it.

I don't know what the hell is happening to this generation, but everyone gets butt hurt over nothing. One of the coolest things that ever happened to me was meeting and getting tattooed by Jeff Zuck, down to earth really friendly guy that actually talked with me while he tattooed me. Since then I have had the chance to meet a lot of guys that I look up to, and most have the same thing in common - relaxed and cool. Craig Driscoll is another fine example as well as Aaron Cain etc.

I also learned that the talented guys that are friends already are even better people to look up to because when they are cool you can actually talk to them re: technique etc.

The only difference between an "idol" and a friend is they don't know you.. yet.

I urge everyone - try to get in touch with the guys you look up to, whether its their art, technique or whatever. There are some good god damned people out there, and in a community like ours it is very important that we get to know one another.
