Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie!

I'm lucky enough to work with a woman who deserves the title "Super-Awesome-Cool/Neato." I wanted to do a portrait of her for a while, and had the opportunity when she gave me the head's up about an art contest entitled "Small Spaces."

The requirement for the contest was only that the piece had to be 2.5" x 3.5". Can do! Hence, the quality of the image is only so-so; it's much easier to shrink something down and make it look great than it is to blow it up to reveal all of the minute flaws. So there. Stephanie was a sweetheart about it, and I'm very glad I had the opportunity to do a piece for her.
