As a student at @yaleschoolofart I took a memorable meeting with then architecture dean Robert A.M. Stern when @leilataylor and I designed an issue of Perspecta. He was magisterial, a bit intimidating. Have always loved these Vanity Fair portraits, here dressed as his famous Disney animation studio in LA.

I was very fortunate to be a fly on the wall for the 4-year development of this ground-breaking survey of the work of L.A. artist Carl Cheng @carlfchengjohndoecompany curated by Alex Klein @apkapkapk opening this week @contemporaryatx with graphics by @studiolin . Please be sure to catch the show in Austin or on its tour to @icaphiladelphia @bonnefanten @museumtinguely and @theicala . It is a testament to the profound work of curatorial research and vision, institutional collaboration, and artistic advocacy @philipmartingallery @pewcenterarts @teigerfoundation . Congratulations, Carl, Alex, and the whole team at the Contemporary. Cannot wait for the catalogue @jrpeditions .

Thank you, Justin Chearno. I cut my teeth designing hardcore records for Troubleman, and I remember putting together the Panthers LP in my brother’s apartment in Williamsburg. I think the main thing I contributed was repeating the band name around the edge. Turing Machine played our birthday one year, and Justin, Jerry, and Scott’s music was the soundtrack to my life at that time. #justinchearno

Thank you, Marc Camille Chiamowicz, an amazing artist (and designer!) I “borrowed” the diamond-shaped cut for the cover of Question the Wall Itself (with permission) and was fortunate to have dinner with him at the opening @walkerartcenter What a charming man. The show @kellytaxter did with him in 2018 at the Jewish Museum is in my top five. #marccamillechaimowicz

Among his many achievements as a musician and engineer, Steve Albini also created the lettering for this iconic record. Thank you, Steve. @blackfaurest #stevealbini #squirrelbait
