Dear Monica

On April 7, 2007, tattoo-artist Monica Henk was hit by a black SUV at the corner of Kent and Flushing in Brooklyn, New York. Monica was on a motorcycle and she was only twenty-six.

Artist. Singer. Model. Dancer. Vixen. Gemini. Bohemian. Free-spirit. Monica was no girl next door and no blank canvas.

She loved art, guns, Afro-Cuban rhythm, loud guitars and sushi. Frank Frazetta and H.P. Lovecraft. Movies but not TV. “Love isn’t for cowards… Love the life you live and live the life you love,” her myspace reveals. “If you like to get tattooed or even talk about an idea come and see me,” her website offers.

The reward has grown for the capture of the driver of the 95-97 black Chevy S-10 Blazer that killed her. If you have information call New York State Crimestoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
