"i was attracted to permanency"


Excellent profile in the NY Times on Manny Vega. I love reading and hearing artists talk shop. The slide show is the real treasure, though: the woefully titled, Manny Vega and His ‘Hip Hop Byzantine’ Art. Great work and insight. The printed article does have its merits, however.

“Everybody wants instant art,” he said. “This is old school. A good design, some good materials, and shut up and do the work. There is no shortcut.”
