There is a "kind of long" story behind this deck:
I went to Stuttgart, Germany for one night and one party: Titus shop opening.
From my house it is about 1 and 1/2 hours driving plus 8 hours of train.
The night before this travel I had an hardcore party (plus an injury...).
It ended up throwing out at 5 in the morning. At 7am I woke up, drove down till the train station, took the train and throw out again.
Twelve hours latyer, at 7pm I was in Stuttgart "ready" to party: It happend and at 5/6am I was super drunk again.
Few hours later I woke up, visited the shop, had lunch and took the train to go back.
Seven hours later I called the parking (at 02:00 am) asking for my car, got the car, drove till my house and went straight to another party.
Fucked up. At the shop opening I bought this awesom board: The Girl Brian Anderson features a section of the big
mural made by various Art Dump members for the Pedro Sideways.
On the way back from Stuttgart I was out of magazines and computer/ipod batteries so I started to drew over it.
End of the story.
