Reader T-Shirt

As a child I chose comic books over "real" books until my Dad had the great idea to give me a "Prince Valiant" comic book that had more text in it than what I was used to before and spoke to my interest for the Middle Ages. The rest is legend as they say. I was hooked for life. Sitting in a corner and reading was what I usually did, even during family gatherings. I have always been fascinated by hieroglyphs, letters, seals, sigils, signs, symbols and coats of arms. My love for history, literature, mythology and other media also added to this fascination. It is the process of putting a thought and/or an emotion into a graphic representation, or code, that can be decoded again.
