I’ve been friends with artist/fashion designer Rey Aquino (https://www.fortisorbisatelier.com/) for over 20 years and we’ve always been fans of each other’s work. We had the opportunity to do a little exchange that worked out equitably. I’d admired a pair of pants he wore to a gathering a few weeks ago and asked if he could make a pair for me. In exchange, he requested a portrait of Banjo, his cat that died not too long ago. It was a match made in Heaven 🙂❤️
