12 Drawings about companionship and independence

These 12 Drawings serve as documentation of a period in my life when I was struggling with ideas of companionship and independence. I was saying good-bye to my infancy in New York City and adapting to "surviving" in a post 9/11 world. Moving on from the past as well as reinventing myself, the cosmos, starting a new life with a new partner, moving from Brooklyn to Manhattan, getting a well paying waiter job and going to all the fun art and fashion parties were key to executing these serious but equally playful drawings.
