Jan Jakub Kotik (1972 - 2007)
The picture of Jan above is from a Beekeeper photo session in 1997. It shows him as I knew him: handsome, intelligent, and always ready to shake things up a little. He was, to me, a compassionate trouble maker; both deeply emotional and impishly restless.
The intensity of his intelligence was quite something to be around. There was a seemingly constant sculpting of ideas and connections going on in his head.
Thank you, Jan, for the unique and amazing intensity you brought to the world in your time here.
