I live and work in Brooklyn. My wife is an abstract oil painter (when she’s not literally saving the world and ending mass-incarceration), so when we moved into our brownstone we converted the whole top floor into studio space.

I feel so incredibly fortunate to work in this space with skylights and windows out onto… well it’s actually just a giant hole in the ground right now, but soon it’ll be into other people’s bathrooms and kitchens. If I go up to the roof I can almost see Donato’s house. This is the thrill of New York living.
