The little f-ers.

Just got a FB message from a Keeper who hates my little pins. The title of this post says it all. It is true they do not go well with old school plaster walls typical of brownstones in Brooklyn, NY. Apparently a great deal of choice words were used in reference to my pins and possibly in reference to me. Fortunately this Keeper has been a patron for a long time, almost twenty years – OMG can you believe it A.S. – you bought that painting from me in 1993.

Anyway I will tell you all the key is to not hit the pins like they are a nail. If you do they will bend, you will hit your finger with the hammer and scream: “The little F-ers” and then you will want to hit me in the head with the hammer. Because I do not want to be hit in the head with a hammer nor do I want anyone’s experience with The Swarm to involve anger, at least with regards to its installation, I will say it again: Don’t hit them like they are a nail. If you have a small hammer it will work best. As a last resort, or a first one, you could mount them on a piece of foam board and then hang that on the wall.

I am going to make a how-to-hang your Swarm video this weekend and post it on youtube. Should be a blast. And lastly always remember The Swarm wants you to enjoy installing it so contact me, The Grand Keeper , if you need any help.
