In choosing the palette for this publicity image, I was inspired by Pyke Koch’s Large Contortionist.  When I began work on Kiss It! I had just returned from Paris where I had been taking in all the art that city has to offer, and, while Koch’s piece was not my all-around favorite, I did find his use of color to be a delicious revelation.

Though I saw lots of amazing work in Paris, the call of art was not acually why I crossed the pond.  I was visiting my grandmother in a tiny town in Brittany and spending a few days with my cousins in Paris.
