GN 1977.

2010
07.15

Just so that we’re all on the same page, here are a couple of photographs of the “1977″ box which my parents gave to me a year or so ago. Yes, this is the same box from which my Star Wars drawings came from.

Filled to the top with age old stuff.

Couldn't wait to see what was inside.


After over 30 years of storage, this box has summoned a myriad of memories which I’ll be happy to share with you all. Better add some oil to my scanning machine.
