In Memoriam: Tommy Lee Stuffle

When we were growing up, my big brother was everything to me. I wanted to be just like him in every single way, and wherever he was, I was right there beside him. He filled our days with laughter and loved to sketch and draw. When he was ten, he fell severely ill, and at twelve, we lost him to a hereditary heart and lung disease. I created this illustration as a tribute to him—a way to capture the light he brought into my life and keep a piece of his artistic soul alive in mine.
