#1: I Thought You Knew, Poems and Drawings by Marc Huebert#1: I Thought You Knew, Poems and Drawings by Marc HuebertI’ve known Marc Huebert since we were both wee lads and he’s been my best friend ever since. The poems and a few of the drawings in the book were part of Ritalin-fueled napkin writing collaboration at a couple of different bars in Tucson – The Shelter and Club Congress –over the Christmas Holiday in, I think, 1998. I put them away in a folder for several years then pulled them back out and realized that Marc’s part of the collaboration was great. So I took his poems, the few drawings he’d done and added some other drawings of his I had amassed over the years and that was the inspiration for the whole Midget Editions series – some wonderful toilet reading for the attention-impaired.
Marc was one of the first sponsored amateur skaters in Colorado when we were kids. I can’t remember a time when he wasn’t drawing or painting. He’s got a video piece going up in the Denver Art Museum and lives in Colorado Springs with Laura Sharpless, their daughter Ella, and their little boy who’s due in just a month.
