A few years ago, I was working in my studio/store, when a woman walked in and started staring at one of my flags. She told me she worked for the Jasper Johns Foundation, and I patiently waited to see where this was leading. Luckily she really liked them, and I of course mentioned that I would be happy to give one to Mr. Johns, though she did not take up my offer!
I love this story, because I originally made these flags as a tribute to Jasper Johns.
