January 2017

January 2017 was bone cold. I stayed in more than usual, sketching new concepts & letting the city move without me for a minute. It was still active, but slower. Gloria had photoshoots, we made our way up to Washington Heights, & life kept unfolding like it always does. Then I lost my cousin Stephanie. She was young, beautiful, & she used to babysit me as a baby. I even got to design her tombstone. I miss my cousins Katie & Stephanie to this day. That kind of loss never leaves you; it stays as a weak spot in your heart forever.
