What have you been up to since speaking at SP?
I'm currently working on large campaign with Nike, and a very interesting project with http://www.2x4.org  Also, my second book will finally be unveiled in late July 2007.
 
Any upcoming Exhibitions?
I'm an working on a solo show for 2009 in Chelsea, NYC.
 
Is there a specific piece of work which you have a personal connection too?
I share a connection with all the work that I do, it's always personal.
 
Any traveling of late and any plans to travel more? 
I just got back from Argentina, which was a great and relaxing trip. Some sketches from the Buenos Aires and Iguazu can be seen on my blog. With my new book coming out, I'll be traveling across the US and Canada, but it would be great to go back to Europe again.

What percentage of the value of a painting should you spend on a frame?
I wouldn't base the frame price on the value of the painting . . . I'm not sure what framing is like in Sydney, but here, I think a nice, simple frame with UV plexi with archival mounting in a shadow box would run about $200. Regular plexi would be much less, if you'll be displaying the painting out of direct sunlight.

Do you prefer your work framed?
The works on paper should be framed -- they look nice floated in a shadow box. The paintings on board or canvas don't need to be framed. Let me know how it goes,
