Pro Spotlight: Heath Kirchart

Heath's Pro Spotlight interview, from the February 1999 issue of Transworld. Introduction written by Dave Swift. Photos by Atiba Jefferson, Swift and Seu Trinh. The reflective silver borders on the pages unfortunately created a lot of glare from my scanner. These are the best that I could get them.
