Multitasking Isn’t Enough

When does doing a thousand and one things at once not get the job done? When you have a ton of work to do. i just realized that in the 2000 sq ft of vast open studio space, there’s no place to walk! We’re drenched in work here. Luckily my visitors are always so good [...]

Coma Dance

It’s been a rather productive past 3 days. Expect new artwork in the “VIP Lounge” by mid-week. They’ll go live to the rest of the world in the “Online Catalogue” upon the ok from our attorney on copyrights. After my release from captivity in the studio on Friday evening, we headed out to a get [...]

Bourgeois Pig

Eclectic cafe the Bourgeois Pig- love this tiny place. Was there last night, it just opened on Macdougal. The red lights will put you in a trance. The best part? Sit until the pig (their words) gets tired and throws you out. New York is home of the overachiever workaholic. That’s a fact. So any [...]

Not a Starry Night Wasted

Didn’t get to all my emails yesterday. Promise to get through them today. The weather was wonderful so headed out to an early dinner with Ian, another artist friend and his wife, a model who doesn’t eat past 6pm anyway- if you call pushing raw veggies around in your plate as eating. No one actually [...]

Leave It Home

My new spot to be seen is on Rivington St in the Lower East Side. I needed to rub off a dinner with hedge fund manager types with a little excessive downtown. And there is no better place than here. The area is home to locations that break all zoning laws and drive the residents [...]

Everyone Just Shut Up… Please

If I didn’t have the sunroof in my studio, I would die because I have no windows. There is so much noise outside that I crank up the speakers to dilute the world outside. So someone must have called in and complained to the offices of Leona Helmsley. And anyone who leases from her knows [...]
