I met him when I went to SXSW in 2004 and hung out at his booth for about a half hour. Out of his generosity he gave me a couple of TOOL posters I'd been seeking but could never find. He then went through his stash of artistry and gave me a shirt. If I ever get back into producing shows I'd definitely have him do the silk screens for my shows. Awesome artist and one really cool person. My two posters were framed by my gf for my birthday. I love her for doing that. One of the best gifts I ever got. I also met Emek the same day and got him to discuss making posters for the bands I really like. It was total geekdom and won't apologize for being "that fan". One of the best times of my life was hanging out with all artists that afternoon.
