Of the many posters and designs I have seen, one artist that captured my attention and with whom I have fallen in love is the work of Meredith Wing of MooMooi.

I first saw Adele at the HighLine on 16th Street & 9th Ave…I don’t even remember the year. It was BEFORE she was known around world, like she is today. My friend, Bridgit, invited me to stand in the warehouse space and listen to her sing. She was sitting on a stool, talking to the audience, as if we had stopped over for a drink or a cup of tea, and asked us to listen to a new song she wrote. Of course, there’s no need to report my stage of mind and reaction to this heavenly creature. I just share about how grateful I was to have had that moment in history in time. Thanks, Bridgit for inviting me to join you that night. I love you and I love Adele.
