Yes. It was a conversation with her that informed my research.

are you the creator of these shirts? This is illegal. You do not have permission to use this image. The Estate is litigious and you should expect a cease-and-desist at some point.

Thank you! I hope to do more as well! Probably in the later half of 2018, and 2019; there's a lot of research still to do, but I'm so excited to share more when I think its ready :)

So often, we forget that Jean-Michel Basquiat was a human being, and we forget to look at the work. The myth takes on an out-sized importance. I hope that the work that we're doing -- I can't wait to share some of that in early 2018 -- is a step in the right direction.

so much of my job is to be as critical, thorough and forthright as possible -- and to cut through a lot of preciousness -- and yet, I'm still a fan. Love inspires a great deal of this work. This is one of those days that I'm reminded of that.

It's easy to forget that, when you're looking at facts, timeline, technique, etc, but I think like a lot of scholars, I got in the Basquiat game when I was 19 b/c I was a fan. I'm still a fan. Jean-Michel #Basquiat is still the tops for me. #HappyBirthdayBasquiat

As someone knee-deep in this research, birthdays of the men at the center of The Project -- Michael Stewart, Jean-Michel Basquiat and lesser extent, Keith Haring -- remind me that fundamentally what I'm working w/ are humans, people that were here.
