Project Description

I sent this one to one of my best friends on the planet: Jorj. We met back in college, and he was part of a small, tight knit group of artist friends I had. I consider him family. We always have had a good connection, even when we go years without seeing one another. We have extremely similar personalities, we’re both very introverted but prone to extreme silliness in the right group/setting, we both like a lot of the same “nerd stuff”, we both like heavy metal…really the big difference is our appearance: I’m tall, long haired, and white, he’s shorter, black, and bald. It has always been our little joke that he’s the shorter, darker Toby, and I’m the taller, whiter, Jorj. In addition to being a great artist, he’s also an incredible musician. We are both fairly reserved, so I didn’t even know about that side of him for a long time. The first time I heard him sing my brain exploded (which might account for some current issues), I even had him sing at my wedding (as did our mutual friend Bill). In recent years, Jorj took up drumming, hence this image. Now I want video of him playing his drums with plungers…
