Excitement!

Maybe it was today's launch of my new collection or the fact that I'll be flying into JFK this weekend that has me all riled up, but it's hard sitting still. Today I launched my latest series of works inspired by the brilliant polaroid photography of Grant Hamilton. Grant and I spoke a few months ago when I poured out my heart to him about how in love with his work I was. I convinced him quickly to let me translate his little polaroids into full-sized paintings and the result has been incredible.

Grant did all the hard work finding the right subject matter and color composition, I just added the small final tweaks. Maybe one day I'll expand the set of 12 but the pieces I choose will of course need to be harmonious with this original set.

I'll touch down in my old homestead of Manhattan to work on a project al next week and it's going to be exciting to be back in the Big Apple. I'll stop in see the folks, some friends, and catch dinner at Les Halles if possible.

Ever upwards, I hope you all have a great New Year and enjoy the new pieces.
