    I wouldn’t say the brother is selling out – he’s now at a place where he’s getting world-wide recognition for his art and the opportunities that come with it. As a designer, I wouldn’t say no to designing for the Grammy awards – that’d be the commission of a lifetime!

    It’s too bad the Grammy nominations are awful this year. Lady Gaga for best club/electronic album? Nickleback or Linkin Park for best hard rock album?

    I’ll care about the Grammy Awards when the academy develops a taste in music other than looking at the billboard hot 100 and going eenie meenie miney mo

    Design looks great, I guess Shepard is our generations Warhol. It’s to bad he is the most boring person I have ever met.
