“The Interview was all but complete...

Founding a business means I’m always looking for good ideas - even while on vacation at the Magical Kingdom. Last week I saw how much we can all learn from Disney when it comes to customer service and exceeding expectations to delight users at every turn. Here are a few of my favorite lessons from Disney:
It’s not my fault, but it is my problem:
This is a mantra around Disney and...

In the News: Ejay Weiss
What lies behind the paint? Ed Rubin asked 12 artists from around the world to explain the ideas behind their work in a special section of NY Arts’ fall issue titled Complex, But Not Complicated and we’re thrilled that our own Ejay Weiss was included. Ejay’s work captured us from “hello”, but his own words about the work truly show the thought behind each...

Demolishing our Artistic Future: Ai WeiWei's...
In a way, the demolition of Ai WeiWei’s Shanghai studio plays out like a PR move - more press for Ai WeiWei, more press for China. No real damage done because hey, we all saw it coming. It’s like a Hollywood relationship in need of a nickname: Weiina? ChinWei?

In the News: Anne Dayton
We love Anne Dayton’s fluid work, which often seems to be a direct reference to biology. Someone else has noticed the connection - Science Friday from NPR posted a great interview with Anne today, after discovering her work on Artsicle.
Your work is quite reminiscent of cellular forms. Do you intend to reference biology in your paintings, or is it just coincidence?
The similarity of my...
