 Drew Stamps & Kevin Cagle
The Happiest People I Know
Drew Doesn't Move Much
I knew of a great guy named Drew, who used to work with me at Baseline. I told him he would be welcome to join my new company, but he refused.
When I asked him why he turned the offer down, he replied, "I can't get off this pedestal!"
This, however, didn't sour my relationship with Drew. I farmed out all my pedestal work to him.

Who are Drew and Kevin, you may be asking yourself. I wish I could tell you.
They are friends, confidants, and supporters.
Up there is a picture of Drew. I don't have a picture of Kevin because he moves to fast for the human eye to see.
Drew and I worked together at Baseline Publishing. He designed all of Baseline's beautiful packaging. He wrote the second half of the Talking Moose manual. He did some terrific icons that I use to this day.
 Drew cheers me up when I'm down. Kevin sold me his Macintosh for cheap so I can play Marathon again. They sent me a very funny holiday card in 1997.
Drew has a personal website. He is proud that his name, Drew Stamps, is also a sentence.
 Drew was once the subject of an animation I made called Attack of the Drew-Headed Satan Puppies. All copies of the movie were inexplicably destroyed and Drew won't talk about it. Sadly for him, the picture which inspired me to make the movie still exists.
Drew and Kevin also used to run a business called Nitetimetoys. They sold it and went on vacation. Where did they go? I don't know. They don't write me anymore. Asshats.
[update June 6, 2006] Drew wrote me:
How dare you. How DARE you. How dare YOU!
Merely because we wear asses on our heads (for therapeutic reasons, I
might add) is no cause for us to become objects of your scorn and
ridicule.
I guess I find out what he's been up to.
[update June 7, 2006] Drew has allowed me to post the cool icons he created 15 years ago. Check out the goodness! |
