Thompson, in one image. Above is the photo I took of the movie, paused, slightly skewed on my 40" Samsung. Here is the cropped-to-frame, Photoshop edited source image for the painting. It will be in ...

  MOMA, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Football on Short Beach General Action | (2)

  Photographing someone watching someone else photograph Starry Night. Seven eyeballs, four lenses, one picture. If I hear, "this could look good in the foyer" — I am thinking business card; with apologies to Ryan Gander. Rocks were skipped. Footballs were tossed. Three places photographed, here in one place.

  Great GOOP ARTicle Missing Massive Message General Action, Thinking Out Loud | (0)

  My wife Erin passed along this newsletter entitled "Decorating with Contemporary Art" from Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP. Written by Maria Brito, there are numerous fantastic points, but there is one critical avenue for collecting art noticeably absent — direct-to-artist.

This is a great series, and I highly recommend checking out the photographs... definitely a new and interesting take. Continue Reading...
