I’ve been thinking a lot about summer lately. Although it’s been a very mild winter I am still longing for the warmth and comfort of summer life in the country. This animation (along with the collage that it was made of) will be on display at the Armory Show at the piers in New York in the Wetterling Gallery booth.

I just finished working on an animation for the opening credits of Timothy Greenfield-Sanders film About Face which will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January. This is the piece of paper I used to make part of the leopard pattern shirt that Jerry Hall is wearing in the opening credits of the film. About Face / U.S.A. (Director: Timothy Greenfield-Sanders) — An exploration of beauty and aging through the stories of the original supermodels. Participants including Isabella Rossellini, Christie Brinkley, Beverly Johnson, Carmen Dell’Orefice, Paulina Porizkova, Jerry Hall and Christy Turlington weigh in on the fashion industry and how they reassess and redefine their own sense of beauty as their careers progress.

This is a first attempt at giving one of my animations more dynamic movement. There is a close up of Isca and it moves out eventually showing the creation of the boat she is standing next to. I am hoping to include more movement in the future.

This animation shows the construction of one of my new paintings. It will be featured in my show this month at Baldwin Gallery in Aspen Colorado opening over Thanksgiving weekend. There are at least 837 pieces of paper used to make this image. This painting is titled Isca and the Boys at the Stone Steps.

This is a detail from a portrait I recently finished of my good friend Hannah Cohen. She is an amazingly talented singer and songwriter. The painting will be exhibited in my show which opens November 27th in Aspen CO at Baldwin Gallery. You can see Hannah’s awesome video which was featured on Nowness.com a few months ago. It’s a beautiful song which will be on her debut album Child Bride.

Isca and I have been very busy lately. Isca has two shows up this month. One at Haunch of Venison in New York and one at Wetterling Gallery in Stockholm. I am also going to have a show at Wetterling Gallery at their space in Gothenburg. The show opens next week. This painting of Isca in her studio is featured in my show. You can see her incredible new paintings on her website.

Josh Abelow is an old friend of mine and a really great painter. He has been away from New York for a few years and recently returned. He is unrelenting in his pursuit to make art and to make it great. He just had a show of his work at James Fuentes Gallery that was beautiful and funny (and a little self obsessed) just like Josh.
