The waiting room at the whimsically appointed All-Star is full, with a mild rain not keeping down the walk-in clients looking for ink. A few regulars, too, seem to be on hand to chat and hang around the shop, trading comments with Davini as she colors in Granger’s leg.

When I started off, what was going on at the time was a lot of Seattle, Wash., stuff. Sub Pop, K Records was coming along. Beat Happening, Nirvana, Sonic Youth, pretty noisy. One of the Dazzling Killmen, Nick Sakes, lived in my building. Also Uncle Tupelo was always over at the house, so I was getting into that stuff. It was all over the place. |

My wife’s best friend from high school’s mother recommended my particular skill set to her second (or third) husband’s son. His ex-wife called me while I was in Chicago and set up an interview for a finish carpentry position to complete the apartments above the gallery. So I showed up with my tools, and a few sketches/models later, we had a vision. |
