It has been a pleasure to be with everyone this week. I have a whole new deeper and more profound respect for Grace and all the other editors who work this hard on a daily basis! Thank you again to Grace!

Also wanted to thank all the artists and designers who shared their stories, work and inspiration with me this week and who make Baltimore an exciting place to be.

For everyone who has never been to Baltimore, you should come, and for those of you have been, you should come again. See what we are working on, because it is always something, and be sure to swing by the American Visionary Art Museum and say hello!
