Gallery Mondays: Peace
While strolling past a school under construction in East Harlem, I saw this adorbs crochet peace sign made of yarn on the fence.

Gallery Mondays: Patch Whisky’s Smart Monster #EducationIsNotACrime
I stumbled upon South Carolina artist Patch Whisky’s mural for the Not a Crime campaign in East Harlem on the wall of Fabco Shoes a few weeks ago when I got off the M103 bus. I cannot handle how adorbs his colorful monsters are! The one featured in this mural is reading a book and…
