Thursday afternoon, I decided to stop by the Mural the Shepard Fairey is working on, in the East Village. I had originally wanted to go by on Wednesday, but it ended up raining like crazy. Today worked out well, though. I was on my way through the neighborhood, anyway, for the Earth Day party at … Continue reading Street art o’ the week– Fairey on Houston→
Not your garden variety of street art, this week. But, it is similar in concept to the Rub Kandy piece from last October. I will never get tired of them. The artist who created the work, above, goes by the name of Felice Varini. I came across his work via The World’s Best Ever. Now, … Continue reading Street art o’ the week, from another perspective→
(Above: Reagan Bowling in Cedar) In observation of National Poetry Week, I would like to share a poem about bowling. About a year ago, Reagan and I attended a service auction at our church. One of the items that I won, was a personalized poem, about any subject. I, of course, chose bowling for the … Continue reading National Poetry Week→
Thursday night, I had the pleasure of shooting Justin Bua’s gallery opening at Pop International in SoHo. I was pretty stoked about it, being that I’m a huge fan of Bua’s. I actually did a piece on Bua and his work, in SoJones earlier this week. Be sure to check it, if you haven’t already. … Continue reading Bua @ Pop International→
The Deitch gallery has a pretty strong legacy, in the street art community. If you are a fan, then you have probably already heard that Deitch is closing its doors. As a final hoorah, the Deitch Gallery will be featuring an exhibit by Shepherd Fairey. I’m not going to lie. I’m pretty excited about it. … Continue reading Fairey Exhibit Coming to the Deitch gallery (as final exhibit)→
I think that it is funny how often I have been asked what kind of stuff I listen to when I run. I’m not sure why, but it almost always catches me off guard. I don’t really know how to answer it, because 1. it is always changing; and 2. Do I just start listing … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #62 (TK)→
In a slight twist from the street art stuff that I usually post, these are actually photo-realist oil paintings by artist Kevin Peterson. They are from Peterson’s series “Graffiti Girls.” Peterson is based in Houston TX. You can check out a couple more pieces from the Graffiti Girls series on Format.
To kick it off, I attended a runway show last night at Hotel Rivington (not the tents). I better not mention the label, as not to preemptively draw any Google traffic (i.e. before I have edited 9000 photos and posted something on SoJones about it, hehe). Although, feel free to read the floor tiles in … Continue reading Fashion Week is here!→
“Stick Around for Joy” is one of the first cds that I ever owned. It was released in 1992, which was probably near the high point of popularity for the Sugarcubes, in the US. ’92 was also the year that they broke up. It obviously didn’t slow Bjork down. In fact, in my opinion, she … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #57 (SC)→
