witnessing ryan mcginness’ work at studio franchise in madrid last night made me feel mega proud. i’ve known ryan since my early colette days and over the years have become friends with him and his wife, trish. importantly, ryan’s work has come such a long way, a fine example of an artist in flight of true evolution. and because i’m a believer in the ‘behind every great man is a great woman’ theory, i’m posting a pic of trish taken just a few hours ago, on a wonderful sunny afternoon in this fantastic spanish capital. greatness in effect.

dean sameshima’s poster (available from PERES PROJECTS is guaranteed to become a best-seller over the coming weeks ahead. yesterday at arco madrid the stack of color print on paper stock disappeared within a few hours (hot commodities folks). a special shout-out to my brother carlos (A21) from colette in paris because if i were there for your birthday this month cherie, i would frame one of these and leave it at your door.
ps. ola richard!

a sincere apology to devoted readers for the somewhat sleepy lack of postings on this trip. although i’m surviving on 3 – 4 hours sleep a night (if that) its not at all due to lack of effort i promise. the hotel internet is as sluggish as they come and each post takes up to twenty minutes to post. apologies. expect more on monday…
