This project pushed me to the limits of my patience and skill. Mostly hand brushed with a bit of masking + airbrush to finalize the details, I wanted to give a final push before welcoming our first child in late August. Enjoy this picture of me exhaustedly smiling next to the piece plus some detail shots. The painting is 48x60in and I call it "Xenofract".

Sadly, Jenny passed away in March 2022 after developing cancer. She had become a beloved local landmark, and many people in the community mourned her loss.

Meet Chris Espinosa, currently the longest-serving employee at Apple. He joined Apple back in 1976 at the age of 14, writing BASIC code while the company was still based in Steve Jobs’ garage

At just 14 years old, Espinosa wandered into Steve Jobs' garage, curious about the computers he'd heard were being built there. Instead of shooing him away, Jobs put him to work.

Chris became Apple's 8th employee, writing some of the earliest software manuals for the Apple II while still in high school. But Espinosa's journey was just beginning. As Apple grew from a scrappy upstart to an industry titan, Chris grew with it.

He worked on groundbreaking projects like the Lisa computer and the original Macintosh, helping shape the user-friendly interfaces that would become Apple's hallmark.

Fast forward to 2026, Espinosa has seen it all, and yet he's still coding. Today he's probably the guy in every meeting who says: “We’ve been through this, guys”.
