Eulogy for Monica

Not to beat a dead horse too much into the ground, but when I get on the topic of Monica, it brings back a flood of memories that are hard to let go.
This is a photo she had taken, I believe, in Colombia, before she met me, but I found it to be the perfect inspiration for a memorial portrait.
She was always my biggest fan; she would brag about me to other artists, and I include this illustration, along with a brief note of thanks, in every book I publish.
I first drew it for the illustration on her memorial concert t-shirt, which featured both “The Unsane” (still one of my favorite bands) and my friend Dyami’s talented metalcore band, “Locked in a Vacancy”.
On a side note, which hopefully doesn’t sound too crass and commercial, the dedication is included in all the books I have in my new Kickstarter campaign (two of which she is on the cover of).
She did a lot of alternative modeling and loved it when people took notice.
