Overview

Most people know of Anthony Bourdain from his days as a travel/food TV journalist. Many do not know about his humble beginnings grinding as a chef in basement NYC kitchens, barely getting by, as part of the working class as you and I. Most do not know about his mental health journey, and bout with depression.

He shared his love for the world, humanity, and building relationships through his travel and food experiences, and left an impression on millions for his honesty and depth of openness. Bourdain passed in 2018 after his bout with mental health, far too young.

I truly love this piece, in its coloring, and in the way the NYC skyline mirrors off Bourdain's sunglasses in the portrait. There is something truly timeless about this one.
