Over the last couple of years Ben and I unintentionally started a little collection of small portraits. First my good friend gave us an awesome line drawing of the two of us and our close friends, then for our third anniversary Ben got our portrait drawn by Michel Gondry. So, for Christmas this year I commissioned a portrait as my gift to Ben.
I decided to ask artist Leah Tinari. Not only is Leah an amazingly talented painter (she recently worked with Nike on a huge campaign!) but she was also my studio mate when I lived in New York. I'd always dreamed of owning one of her pieces so this was the perfect opportunity. Her work is really playful and vibrant, which is exactly the type of portrait I wanted. The painting turned out absolutely perfect.
