Monica, my wife, who died in 2008 in a hit-and-run that the cops initially blew off, was always my biggest supporter and greatest fan. She was a Colombian immigrant I met in NYC, and she stuck with me through thick and thin while I navigated brain cancer and chemotherapy.
I used her modeling photos in a slew of books and magazines, something that made her very proud when she was alive, and I drew this up for a memorial show featuring The Unsane and Indecision. I now use this illustration as an intro to every book and thank her for her support.

Monica was my late wife, and definitely my muse
