“Right now, I’d never let anyone into my studio,” Dane Goodman declared, just a few minutes into my call to see if I could set up a time to get together and talk about what he was doing in his studio. As always, his tone was friendly and anything but off-putting. It wasn’t as though he had something to hide or some secret to withhold – it  was just that invitations to his studio were off the table; an activity so far removed from the realm of possibility that it was not worth thinking twice about.
