Convinced by his father's explanation that it was made by an art school friend as a prank, Johnson forgot about it until he grew up and visited his parents' house. Reunite with business cards. He did some research on his own and discovered that it was a business card owned by a Chicago gang. Johnson has since collected such cards, and the collection has been published as a book.
