GrumpyOldMan

Let's set the record straight - I've been painting now for 20+ years and I met JA in early '87, a few months after he started writing. We wound up wrecking the city for more than a few years. We even visited Philly in the late 80's and met up with Espo and Meez before it was a hip thing to visit other cities. Sure I learned some Philly history and even heard of you Credit, but this is the first time I ever heard of there being a Philly crew of XTC. I remember when JA and Omni made up the crew more having to do with the new drug at the time ecstasy. Either way, in this harsh game of graf everyone knows that once you stop writing your name, it's fair game for another to use. You use it or lose it. I'm sure few people will associate the name JA with Spin from the 4 line, which he used to write occasionally in the early 80's. Once my arthritis kicks in and I can't hold a can any more I'm sure some one else will try claiming my name. Finally, although I no longer talk to JA, he is without a doubt the most up writer I will ever see.

Thanks for all the support and the memories. Being Old and Grumpy ya sometimes lose focus or correct spelling. Yeah there was a bunch of Sanes when we first started in '84, Sane KD + Sane SIC also, but only one will always be remembered as SaneSmith. You can catch more modern work (and lord knows much better quality since the 80's) at pinksmith.com or rest your feet at your local freight bench. Just remember..... when you meet your maker what will you tell him you did with your life....... WHOLECARS!
