Hey Martin, i just finished a 3 week promo tour for Robin Thicke's new album release. More TV appearences (8) than actual concerts (6), but that should change come the new year.

 

We should get Robin and Jill Scott to do a tour together this coming year, huh ?!?

That design for the JS block party was awesome by the way ...

"Chuck Madden is the photog that captures that image... It's artists like him and Kimberly Miller and Todd Kaplan that take our momentary bouts with beauty and preserves them as true art. Thanks for the compliment, Wayne."
