BACK FROM LA

Although I definitely miss palm trees in LA and great sea food in Santa Barbara, I am happy to be back home here in rainy cold NYC.Here are some pictures from the trip, Marcos Chin and me signing newly released Bliss Express at Gallery Nucleus (you can still purchase autographed copies there, I think), and us in front of, yes, palm trees!

Biggest thank you goes to: the one and only Thomas Fuchs for not giving up on me.

Also, special thank you goes to: Gary Taxali, James Jean, Esther Pearl Watson, Mark Todd, Rob Clayton, Martha Rich, Ann Field, Aaron Smith and Nathan Ota. Hope to see you all again soon!

MURAL PROJECT IS DONE

I have worked on 11 panel mural project with “amazing and talented” Stefan Sagmeister for past five months or so. The project was finally completed last week, but it will be a while till I can actually show the panels in public. The murals will be in a public school library in The Bronx, New York next year through Robin Hood Foundation and Pentagram.

Big thank you goes to Stefan for giving me an amazing copy to work with, great art direction, helping me with type solutions, and most of all, not giving up on me during this long process. Also, thank you Pentagram, especially Josh, for letting me work in their office to finish up the panels.
