In 1987, less than a year out of college, I met and was hired by legendary fashion designer and artist Stephen Sprouse, working as his full-time assistant until 1990, when his company, like many others, fell victim to the recession. I continued to work with him on various projects, to varying degrees, until his untimely death from lung cancer in 2004. He was much more than an employer to me. He was a mentor, an older brother, and, most of all, a trusted friend. I created this video for his Memorial in a matter of days from a suitcase full of old VHS tapes. The image quality isn’t great by today’s standards. Nevertheless, I believe it successfully captures Stephen’s unique spirit. I miss him every day.
