I can’t imagine how this could interest anyone apart for myself and maybe my Mum but I thought I’d share anyhow.
Here in the UK it’s the school summer holidays so I quite often have a little company when I’m working.
My five year old son Reef who tells me he wants to design stuff like his Dad likes to sit and draw on the desk beside my own. He loves to use my old elipse and circle guides that I got when I first went to collage at the age of eighteen.
Back then it was pre Mac so we used these things quite a lot and before we started college we had to label all of our kit with our names.
Being into the graff scene at the time I chose to make my labels like the sticker tags that I used to grace the center of Sheffield with. On taking a closer look I saw that on my Linex elipse guide one of the fellas had survived to this day.
This sticker must be about twenty one years old now and considering the amount of use the guide had it’s survived the rigors of time pretty well.
I so remember labeling all of my kit at the time as Linex elipse guides when new had a really strong smell of baby sick.
I’m glad to say that this has now faded, although my memory of it hasn’t.
