From 1998 - 2003 I created hundreds of windows for the Housing Works Thrift Shops, the upscale thrift store fighting homelessness and AIDS. For me it was personal. I had lost two brothers to AIDS. Vincent had been a display artist himself and I learned my craft in his studio. Every day of work was an opportunity to honor my brother's life and genius and a chance to discover my own, all while fighting the disease that killed him. I've never had a better job in my life. - Matthew Aquilone

Making that blue paint last in the skinny window on 77th Street
With Vintage maps and buoy line
Written in lipstick: "Help I'm stuck at the beach and can't make it to Housing Works Beach Ball Event!"
