Look! It’s all the places we are! And though born and raised here, today marks the first we’ve ever realized that Oregon does indeed look like a flying piece of toast. These are fifty state mottos illustrated by fifty artists who grew up in the state for which they have raised brush to canvas (or cursor to squiggle tool as it were). The show is called Fifty & Fifty, and it’s curated by our pal Dan Cassaro, in the gallery at Ace Hotel New York. We’re having a reception tomorrow evening, December 18, from 7-10pm. Afterparty really depends on who shows up so make sure it’s you. If you can’t hang out tomorrow night, you can see the show will be up through February 1. Ever upward!
