Hey Jay,

I finally got a peek of your blog! Thanks for letting us know about it. It's great. It's so nice to see the evolution of everything together. I hadn't seen those Ipod paintings before. They're really funny. You know, in a PostModern way, of course. I'm excited to keep checking back and to see how things progress. It'll be interesting to see your paintings after you move. Will you have a studio or do the extra bedroom thing?

Hi to Katie and Diego.

Love,
Hil

Glad you checked it out- I do find it oddly satisfying to see my work collected like this- It almost makes it seem coherent. You should do it wirth your photos.

No bedroom studio- maybe I'll have to draw for a while (or do city/landscape paintings) until I get a studio going- I'm hoping I can find a space in Long Island City, somewhere.

I have been focusing on drawing recently. It has actually led me to becoming more inventive within a practice of repetition. Difference comes quicker without the necessity of drying time. It has helped me to explore seriality more fully. I will be curious to see the result on your work.
