Ana Gasteyer Instagram – I’m so lucky to have walked a few decades alongside Ian Falconer. It’s near impossible to describe his impact on me. Through Ian, I learned to embrace raw artistic drive and through him I learned that the agonizing anxiety that accompanies that drive is part of the process. He attracted talent and exuded it. He saw things in me long before I knew they were there. He loved his friends with a depth I’ve rarely known. He was wildly passionate, bohemian, rebellious, loyal, so fucking intelligent and always too generous. A bon vivant and bon mots master. I lived so much more because of him. Oh how I’ll miss you, my sweet friend. Rest now.
