Squishy was my very first original. He taught me to never give up, and always believe in myself. As cliche as it sounds, it couldn't be more true. I almost gave up on him half way through, and then said...no! I effing got this! And guess what? I did effing have it lol. 
 
I photographed Squishy down at the Marina in Dunedin, FL. When I took the photo it was truly magical. I thanked him for being there that day. And I know I did him justice with this painting.
