Keith's five-year test is red. The single hardest pigment to hold and the signature of his style. His work still carries the reds because he plans depth around ink migration from day one.

A Verified Client
Nine years on and the reds have held. The lines are still crisp. I fly back to New York every three years just to have him add to it — no one else touches this piece.
