Just got to meet one of my art heroes. Mr. Tom Grummett was the artist on The Adventures of Superman when I began collecting comics. When I had the notion that I too could one day be a comic artist it was he and Mr. Dan Jurgens who became my primary inspirations and I thank them both! Mr. Grummett it was an honor, sir!

Tonight Sabomnim Barrett gifted me an old school Moo Duk Kwan patch that has been in his possession since 1980. Knowing that I come from a MDK background, he thought I might like it, which of course I do. Notice the midnight blue background, the older design of the fist and the gold flecks in the thread. I don't believe this style is even made anymore. I've included pics of the newer patches for comparison. A nice gift indeed! Thank you, sir! #moodukkwan #history #lineage #appreciatethelittlethings (at Barrett Hapkido)
