I really like that piece of art.
Must have taken them a really long time to make.

I do like the warm colors in this shot though.

I feel so lucky to have once worked with mike, albeit in a "big guy who carried heavy stuff" capacity.

He's a great artist and genuinely pleasant to work with human being, especially for someone in nyc.
