She and I were madly in love. We were really
young, and I was really dumb. I had no idea what I
wanted to be when I grew up. I was most assuredly
not grown up. We shared a little room together in
a big house in Berkeley. For some reason she saw
more in me than I saw in myself. One day she
came home with this little supply box and inside
of it was a beautiful set of Derwent pencils. She
told me simply that I should start drawing. She
thought that I was an artist. This was the box that
got me started. At one point it held all the tools
of my trade. But eventually, I out grew it. Now I’m
sending it back into the world. The box was
purchased at Inkstone, an art supply store at the
corner of Bowditch and Bancroft in Berkeley,
California.
