STUDIO VISIT: TRAVESS SMALLEY
Travess Smalley recently invited me over to his studio in Jersey City to check out some of his recent work. Travess is one of my favorite artists, and it was a real pleasure to see what he’s been up to lately.
Here are some shots I took during my visit. (right-click for larger views)
