Yo Joe


The Storm Shadow shirt made me nostalgic. Herewith is a small fraction of my childhood gold.

Storm Shadow


I've always been a collector. These days I tend to amass antique, foreign books that revel in modern design. But, as a kid I was GI Joe fanatic. One of my favorite characters is bad-ass Storm Shadow. He is the Cobra Ninja dressed in all white (I didn't know ninjas did that. Don't they want to be invisible?). I remember my aunt buying ninja costumes for me and my cousin back when being a Ninja was every kid's dream profession. Too bad they're black, I thought. Now that I'm all grown up, I think I'd rather be a PANDA than a ninja. That doesn't stop me from spazzing out and jumping on the furniture though.
