6.5 earthquake this morning here in Mexico City! We were awakened by the seismic alarms and had to evacuate the building ASAP until it passed. There's something very surreal about seeing all of your neighbors in their pajamas! All are good though! I guess 2026 is getting off to a pretty wild start!

This is The Book of the Dead. I made it myself, sculpting the front and weathering the pages back in 1995. At my earliest shows, I'd hold it up and say, "This is the Book of the Dead! If you write your name and address in here, YOU WILL DIE... ...maybe...someday...probably not soon."

One this frigid day in New York City , I warm myself with fond memories of the last time I remember feeling hot! Lol! Here are some photos of @mayumi_toyoda and I when we went to Los Angeles. We stayed at @thehollywoodroosevelt and made sure there was plenty of pool time in the sun.
