- Thanks to all of you who have sent warm thoughts and concerns about our well being. Marisol Martinez and I are both safe. Unfortunately our studios have been completely destroyed in the fire. At the moment we are both in shock, but in the near future we do plan to formally reach out to our friends and family for your support. Until then, thanks for the love.
