"This work depicts my friend Sebastien. I met Seb while working at Converse in Boston. We were both newbies on the job and both had our healthy dose of skepticism so naturally we got along. Now we both live in New York City living incredibly different lives from when we first met. He is killing it as a Creative Director at one of the biggest magazine companies here. I couldn’t be more proud. I am also extremely proud about the reflection that I made in Seb’s glasses." - Michael C. Thorpe
