I recently had the opportunity to paint a commission for a friend's personal collection—a very special piece for someone I've known for years. I was given carte blanche and a mandate to create something that incorporates the Hot Water Music logo, capturing the a lifetime of memories with a band we both spent our formative years with. I chose to create a vessel, something that felt like an artifact, a treasure.
