First and Foremost
So here's my first entry. Good work, I'm Dan or Kosko or whatever. Most people are confused when they read "Kosko" so I thought a nice introduction would be the origination of the name. My grandfather's name is Leon Koschushko, he was an artist and architect from the Ukraine, survived WWII and came to America and was a professional artist. Nobody would know how to spell (or pronounce) Koschushko so he signed all his paintings Kos-ko.

So I've grown up with his paintings around my house and his named signed Kosko on all of them. So its kind of a tribute to him and a bit of me just stealing the name. Sadly I never had the chance to meet him, but through his works and stories and philosophies on life he will always live a little through me, at least to the extent I live. Incredible people that WWII generation aren't they.

I recently purchased www.kosko.net and your all welcome to check that out if you'd like. Currently it's about my band, but will soon be a portfolio of my work, I'll make sure to include some of the "real" Kosko's work as well.

So that's the first entry from me. I'm sure there will be plenty more to come.

Kosko- Its a good name to steal. I look forward to seeing your portfolio once you have that up and running-- especially the 'original' Kosko :) On that note, welcome to the estrip community. Happy blogging!
