No #FridayFaves this week since this week was all about listening to NBA Draft talk while painting. I'll be posting a bunch of new work next week, but for now - here's a detail from a new one I just shipped off yesterday. The Boys Summer are spending this summer (and many more) in their new home in Paris. Thanks for the lovely photo @jujuandgirls - it was nice to meet you ☺️ This #FridayFaves is an easy one - it's @Rancid "Trouble Maker". They are one of my top 10 bands all-time, so it's a given when they release new music I am going to overdose on it. I spent this week finishing up 7 new paintings, and building the shoddiest Frankenstein crate ever, made entirely from leftover wood that I've acquired. I don't recommend building crates this way if you're a fan of keeping your sanity. I need to get to @LoveGardenSounds ASAP to buy "Trouble Maker" to make up for all the headaches 😂 Jessie Willner and her totally legit home/office space were featured in the almighty Domino. I am honored my Brute got a shoutout and a link. Hit the link in my profile to check out the article. @jessiewillner @themightycompany @dominomag I am finishing up new work and jamming this week's #FridayFaves SLOWDIVE. Arguably the kings of the shoegaze genre already with their two early 90s releases (Souvlaki and Just For a Day), after a 22 year hiatus they come back to remind me of every reason I love shoegaze, and add some new elements in too. Their new self-titled release on Dead Oceans is worth every second you give to it. @slowdiveofficial @deadoceans #tbt New thing: Friday Faves. I'm going to share a favorite detail image from something I made during the week, and also share something someone else made that inspired me through the same week. Up first: the new @paramore record "After Laughter" from @fueledby. The pop hooks welcome you in, but after you hang around for awhile the lyrics hit you with themes of exhaustion and the anxieties of getting old. It's a perfect juxtaposition. Taylor's riffs and Hayley's voice have never sounded better. If you need more convincing that this is a band playing an A+ game, watch the "Hard Times" video for art direction perfection. Does anyone else out there like this album? This is a studio shot from last month, when I was putting the finishing touches on work for Art New York. #tbt
