One of the coolest things about existing in a creative ecosystem is your homies tend to find ways to impress you. One of my closest friends an collaborative partners, Trel Robinson isn’t just a talented singer/musician.. but also a talented cartoonist. When his road-dog and pug in crime, Fender passed away, he decided to play homage to him by immortalizing him in an online webcomic entitled A Pug Named Fender (apugnamedfender.com). Breathing cool life into the awesome Pug, Fender takes a trip through the world of cool culture and soul music with a supporting cast, partly based in his real reality.
Not only did I think this was cool as hell at first, but when I found myself in an episode of the comic, it made the whole project THAT MUCH more awesome. Flipping through the episodes and seeing cats like Phonte, Lalah Hathaway, Nicolay, Zo! and others.. and then seeing my beardy, freckly mug with the MacBook Pro tucked under my arm (LIKE IT ALWAYS IS) sharing an episode with Fender… F’n AWESOME! So peace to my man Trel for immortalizing me in something that I think is gonna be something big in the ear future!
