Last night I wrote a shameless, hopefully entertaining puff piece about my friend Charlie Murray (pictured above) and his latest work, a large ballpoint pen drawing of a ship executed on a wall in my apartment. It is available for your reading pleasure at Hype Lighter, a roommate-run blog/record label where you will occasionally find my writing and design work appear. You can read the article, along with a few nice photos of the artist at work, by clicking the link here.

I wrote another art review for Hype Lighter, this time on Jesse Harris’ solo show and new monograph, Jesse Wars Here.

Not important—I just want to share the good word about great art!
