A full post on the Armory fair will appear late in the day (we’ll be at Pulse shortly), but I thought it only appropriate to submit this mixed media work to Bad Paintings of Barack Obama, prior to leaving the office. I’m quite certain the administrators have their hands full curating and administrating that project, so I’d like to give them as much time as possible to evaluate this work. I’ll note, Hank Willis Thomas was the subject of our latest review at The L Magazine.
