Artwork / 2024 / Shimoda

Shimoda was the first of my Internet artist friends to come meet me in person when I moved to New Jersey in 2015. She reminded me that I wasn’t completely without community even though I’d moved across the country, and I was grateful for that. You can see Shimoda’s work on her site, and you can watch the making of her portrait.

Another Internet artist friend to reach out to me when I arrived in Jersey was the owner of this unusual pet.
