How do you initialize a NSCollectionViewItem?
@implementation CollectionViewItem
    -(void)setSelected:(BOOL)flag {
        [super setSelected:flag];
        NSLog(@"setSelected: %d", flag);
        // tell the view that it has been selected
        [(CollectionViewItemView* )[self view] setSelected:flag];
        // This is where I pass my image to my view
        [(CollectionViewItemView* )[self view] setOriginalSprite:[(MyModel* )self.representedObject imageSource]];
        [(CollectionViewItemView* )[self view] setNeedsDisplay:YES];
    }
@end
