Kosmo Vinyl and Chris Pig are two former Londoners that I admire considerably. I recently had the pleasure of finally introducing them 'face to face', via Skype. 

Chris and his family now live in Somerset, England, where he has designed and built his dream studio. A printmaker since boyhood, his gift as a story-teller combined with a mastery of his craft results in the some of the most beautiful and interesting works on paper being created today, on either side of the pond. He's also quite the art historian, so it was a delight when he followed up our video chat to email some questions for Kosmo's artist talk.

The gallery was absolutely packed for the "Talk & Tea with K.V.". Kosmo graciously answered every question from the audience and, in the end, we only had time for one of Chris Pig's inquiries. Kosmo was kind enough to answer the rest of them via email when he returned home to New York City...
