I think Jessica's email sums it up...She writes, I love this drawing. It's even more compelling that you decided it compose it on graph paper; literally, boxes upon boxes. But, despite it's geometric precision, it is still whimsical (don't take this as offense, but I feel like it could be an illustration for, say, Breakfast at Tiffany's or something). What's also dynamic about it is that you drew the boxes sort of on an angle, so the inherent flatness and 2-dimensionality is overcome. In short, I'm drawn to your drawing! I'd love to adopt it if it is still available.
While I have equal amounts of wall space to cover in both my apartment and my office, I'd probably opt for the office, because then I'd get to look at it all day (and other people will get to see it). I work for a rare book dealer in Manhattan who also collects art, so it'd fit in nicely here. Also, this FAAN program is so great - I am a grad student (so I won't be able to afford original art anytime soon). Anyway, I hope we can discuss this!
