I was borderline obsessed with the 1996 modern-day version of the epic “Romeo & Juliet” movie. So much so that I

  2. made a HUGE black cloth banner that I tacked to my bedroom ceiling with the logo text painted on it (i’ll find a picture to post to illustrate this*)
  3. apparently was so inspired that I thought I could draw (see above. and, well, below too.)
  4. still have my movie ticket stub somewhere
