Finding old friends online
When the wonderful and unique gift shop Flyrabbit closed, I was working there with tattoo artist Sue Jeiven. I lost track of her, but occasionally do a search to see what she might be up to. It turns out she's working in a tattoo parlor in Brooklyn--the owner of the business said in an interview "I admire my employee Sue Jeiven the most, for coming back from massive invasive cancer surgery and insisting on tattooing before she could even stand upright." I did not know about the cancer but I am thankful that Sue appears to have recovered.
I also discovered that she has continued her hobby of taxidermy, even teaching classes in the craft. She specifically does "Anthropomorphic Taxidermy," a form more controversial than naturalistic taxidermy. I think some people object to dead animals becoming the object of whimsy. Your mileage, as always, may vary.
Sue, if you're out there and you happen upon this, drop me a line! I miss you and I'm so happy you are doing well.
