The UK’s Sam Perkins, aka The Cubb, makes me feel old and useless. Dude is just barely 18 and already he’s got his own style, a brand, good type control, and complete runaway momentum. At 18 I had just mastered rolling conical blunts. That skill and the result of its mastery might be the reason I wasn’t super productive at that age. Sam’s geometric chaos even has a subtle balance of color and negative space. I mean, damn, that is pure talent right there. Anyone want to help me design a Fantasy League Designer’s football website? I call dibs on Perkins, though.
