being in high school in the 90’s was so different, I was into comics, video games, and anime... everyone treaded me like I was the biggest nerd, but now all that stuff is extremely popular!

Trent, that Leonardo piece is intense. Blobby and jagged blacks (gotta love the thickness of India ink) and grey fades. Never used goache, though. Anyway, that’s a great and unique style

Your story has inspired me to get back into drawing. “ long story short” I’ve been drawing for over 20 years and then I just stopped and lost the motivation. I haven’t lifted a pencil and paper in over 10 years. “ breaks over “ I’ve been missing it but haven’t done anything. Today is the day. Thank you

The original TMNT comic was the first time I ever saw real violence in comics. Speaking of violence.... So we're you like hey Liefeld you suck!!! I want to hear more about that.

I was a kid in the 90's who read comics and watched animations. No kid knows how it was until they grow and hear the stories. For you Mr. Trent, and all the one's who took the hits and suffering for kids like me, and the generation from that time, I thank you, for holding the line and pushing back more weight, than Hercules.

Wow, TK. That was a very endearing story. I imagine when you arrived you had to use a payphone and call those guys up using a number you wrote down on a gum wrapper or something. It's amazing how we managed to do things back then haha. I kind of miss being made fun of for being into nerdy stuff and drawing comics. I love that underground exclusive feel. I just have to be one of those guys who complain about how nerd culture is too main stream now. Well, it is! And I no likey.

Maaaannn that last few minutes take me back. Being a kid in 90s that read comics was definitely not considered a cool or trendy thing, especially as a black kid from the projects. I would bring stacks of comics and Wizard mags to school and get clowned every now and then. Crazy to see how things are now.

In 90's México, comics where a big deal and a growing industry, but in that same decade somehow it collapsed. Some artists are to blame about that. Anyway, all that culture used to be cool when I was a teenager back then. And it turned back around in the 2k, and is bouncing back nowadays. That's my perception.
