the big five-oh

that’s right folks, i finally reached the fifty mark! Seeing how I’m home in Ann Arbor an all during this really fabulous occaison, I figured I would do a really fabby Blast from the Past post. Unforutnately, there will be no Brendan Fraisers.. but there are diary entries, art, and photos awaiting for you… just a click away…

Everyone knows that I am the fantastic artist behind www.emmatrithart.com, but did you know? I was once a kid with a piece of paper and a pencil and some chicken pox! (exuse the crappy scans, i severely miss MCAD’s facilities)..

jeez, young me, learn to spell. Also, I’m finding the drawing on the right vaguely Ringu-like. Creepy? Alas, we don’t have time to dwell on such meaningless symbolism, onto the pictures!

Photos of your kids in the pre-digital camera era are so much sweeter than photos of your kids now. Check it out on the left – Blond Emma!?!?! And on the right – hideous neon colors Emma before her brother became taller than her?!?! Also, just for kicks, here is me at MCAD before I knew ANY of you:

look at those awesome buttons I have on my bag. That is SOO arty high school kid. I could show you thousands of pictures of arty high school kid me, but I’m not going to because then I would have to fight the awful HP All-In-One and PC monster.

    dude, first of all, I feel your pain with those fucking HP monsters of technology.
    Secondly, when I was a small child I had DARK BROWN HAIR, like yours is now. Weird. Perhaps we were switched early on. We do have one middle name that is the same.

    i had the one strap backpack, but no buttons

    … does that mean I wasn’t arty enough? I had some duct tape on it, doesn’t that count? C’MON!!
