Show Notes

Five years ago, Steve Derrick found himself working from home ... indefinitely.

The game developer and artist took the time to work on his craft and focused on portraits. He went from friends and family submissions on Facebook to finding the true heros of the pandemic - essential workers in some of their most trying moments.

Steve Derrick drew those portraits and sent them to the subjects free of charge, for months.

He said it helped him, but it also helped so many others - including myself and my family.

We both took moments to pause during our conversation because we still feel the memories deeply.

Introducing artist Steve Derrick who was kind enough to 'Tell Me Your Story'.
