Brian Forrest, the amazing photographer that has shot all of my work since I've lived in LA, and his wife take occasional trips abroad. This season they went to Paris, and they recognized a familiar character in my work and decided to share. So great!

CARRIE ANN BAADE INTERVIEW

If art being created by an intelligent individual with real passion and insight is for you, then the latest paintings by Carrie Ann Baade should be of some interest.

BL!SSS / TODD SCHORR

I'm especially excited about the latest interview that Greg and I got to do. Todd Schorr is an amazing artist and interesting individual to boot. He also clued us in to his latest favorite book, Ross King's "The Judgement of Paris." I'll let you know when I finish how it is, but so far it's engaging from the first page. And I'm already making moves on the second page, so watch out. Todd took time out of working out details for his two upcoming retrospective exhibitions to tell us about his new book, "American Surreal," and fill us in on some things we might not have known before.
