Portrait of the Artist With a Giant Mohawk
I’d put this photo at or about 1986. That’s my buddy Kellfire Bray in the beret (berets were cool in the 1980s). The reason the mohawk is so shiny is because I would obsessively apply the strongest Aqua-Net hairspray available (it came in the white can) over the course of the day: I slept on my side (still do), and in the morning I’d straighten my mohawk, hit it with a lint brush to get any scraps off of it, and pssssssshhhhhhht, more Aqua-Net.
Good times, great hair.
