I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!” With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/

Finalizing artwork for TEAM MEENA and am so grateful to be working with illustrator Mina Price! She brings such warmth and playfulness to Meena (yes, they share a name!), and I always love seeing her vision come to life. Check out her other work at shannonassociates.com/minapr…!
