STUDIO

As YOU enter the room, good vibes immediately wash over you. The energy is paradoxically both calm and exciting. Eclectic music plays quietly from overhead. Floor-to-ceiling windows span the far end, ushering in natural light, and PLANTS hang from rafters or are placed in pots up against it.

The cluttered walls of the GALLERY continue inside, blending into a mess of drawings and COLLAGES pinned to CORKBOARD. Paper, drafting tools and stacks of books cover tables all over the room.

You see JOEY leaning over one of these tables, hard at work. He looks up at you, a little distracted.

JOEY

Oh, hey, come on in. This is my studio.

Joey gestures with the point of an X-acto blade around the room.

JOEY

Sorry, it's a little messy, but feel free to look around! You can use that table over there if you need to get some work done.
