Gallery Mondays: URBANIMAL’s Pet Dragon

I’ve had this pic sitting in my phone for a few month’s now. I felt it was time to unleash the dragon in this graffiti by URBANIMAL.

I saw this piece on a truck on the corner of West 37th and 8th Ave, and I immediately knew it was by URBANIMAL because of the way the eyes on the characters are depicted and the fact that his art is all over trucks in Midtown West. I love the vibrant color.

For some reason, the woman in the piece looks a little bit like Gayle from Bob’s Burgers. Is it just me? Also, is she holding that dragon by pink bejeweled reins?!

See more of URBANIMAL’s work on Instagram.

Fan Art Fridays: Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid had a rough week, so Fan Art Fridays is going out to her today.

Celeb prankster Vitalii Sediuk managed to grab and lift the model up as she was walking out of a fashion show in Milan with her sister Bella on Thursday. Gigi fought him off, as I would have done, and security came swarming in to get her to calm down when she started chasing after him in fury.

Few thoughts on the Gigi Hadid incident: 1️⃣ she is a badass! 2️⃣ I'm so glad she was able to defend herself (I wish she could've kicked him in the junk) 3️⃣ with so much focus on how women should defend themselves, how is actually defending yourself not showing model behavior? 4️⃣ I hope this inspires more women to learn self defense 🎉💃🏻🎉👊🎉💪🎉 #gigihadid #strongwoman #protectyourself #inspired #timetotakeupboxing 👊 #selfdefense #gigiisabadass

I’m not one for violence, but Sediuk really deserved to get his face punched in. He needs to learn a lesson.

Anyway, here’s a glamorous portrait I found on Deviant Art by Katharina0595 of Gigi Hadid in red, wearing a flower crown and dangling earrings. The fan art was created using Faber Castell colored pencils, which I must say do a fabulous job creating vibrant red hues.

View the original on Deviant Art.

Wardrobe Wednesdays: Kristen Bell @ 68th Emmys

Kristen Bell basically won Best Dressed on everyone’s 2016 Emmy Awards fashion list this year, and rightfully so.

The actress wore a plunging , floor length Zuhair Murad dress to the show on Sunday, which was the perfect ode to the last few days of summer with its colorful floral print against a beige fabric.

The dress isn’t available to the public yet, but below are two picks inspired by Kristen Bell’s look.

Dress:

1. Nordstrom, $236.00

2. Oasap, $19.99

Gallery Mondays: The Birds

Fall is literally two days away, so the lovely birds that came to visit NYC for the summer will be headed south soon.

I saw this amazing street art by Denton Burrows on a shipping container near the intersection of Ludow and East Houston Street in the East Village earlier this month. The two birds painted on the container look like the cutest couple snuggling up together on that branch!

I love that these colorful birds are set against the sky blue background, making it feel as if you’re actually staring at two birds sitting high up in a tree. Cue “The K-I-S-S-I-N-G Song.”

Also, is it just me, or does that green leaf in the bottom right corner look like some sort of smiley face leaf emoji?
