We started un-crating the Chuck Close work today. Dear God, what registration and anal attention to detail this man has. I love seeing care in craft. I love seeing technique. I love realism. I love portraiture. I had a hard on during the entire day while handling the artwork (I got to handle the original plates...).

This show combined with the Calder show has my brain a stirring. After this installation I need to start making new work based on my ideas. If I don't I will have a bunch of people banging on my door with lectures ready on their lips. As always expect portraits, abbreviated imagery and prints.
