Custom Ode

Portrait of Marie Nanette Schaepman.

I’ve had this quiet dream of one day being in Vogue Living.

And then, back in ’22 — wonder upon wonder — it actually happened.
But I wasn’t specific enough.

I ended up in the background of a spread about Bohiem, a project by friends of mine.
Okay, okay. Lesson learned.

So I made this portrait of their editor in chief as a daily reminder to just do it.
To say what I mean.

To be specific.
To show up as myself, with Custom Ode.

One day baby.
