Gallery Mondays: ‘Suggestion Mark’ by Jennifer Grimyser
Last week, I stumbles upon a field of hands on display at chashama 266 in Midtown. Called Suggestion Mark, the exhibit is by Jennifer Grimyser. She explores the concept of verbal and non-verbal communication using hands that appear to be making signs similar to those in American Sign Language. I never learned to sign because I…

“Life is BeautAWFUL” with Mike Falzone & Elliott Morgan @ The Creek and the Cave
I spent my Cinco de Mayo 2016 laughing at the genius of Mike Falzone and Elliott Morgan’s “Life is BeautAWFUL” at The Creek and the Cave in Long Island City. The show was a blast, hosted by Peggy O’Leary with guests Robert Dean and Andrew Delman. Zoja was also in the audience. The only unpleasant happening that night was the…

April Favorites: 7 Year Nap, Vintage NYC & Pizza Kiss Cam
April was brutal. I can’t decide what part of April 2016 was worse: the fact that the whole “celebrities die in threes” turned into fours (Prince, Doris Roberts, Chyna, Victoria Wood), the fact that all the shows I’ve been watching are going on hiatus, or the sad reality that Mother Nature is denying NYC proper…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Olsen Twins Hiding From the Paparazzi’
On Friday I went to check out the Olsen Twins Hiding from the Paparazzi exhibit by THNK1994. It was awesome. So awesome I wished I had gone to the opening night. The paintings were done by Laura Collins, who can’t tell the Olsen twins apart, especially when they’re covering their faces from the paparazzi, so none…

Gallery Mondays: URBANIMAL Graffiti on B.K. Express Truck
A few months ago I spotted this B.K. Express Truck sitting in the parked lane on 8th Avenue in Midtown with URBANIMAL graffiti all over it. The truck has a Michigan address on it, which is enough to pique my curiosity. The URBANIMAL graffiti was just an added bonus. The first thing I noticed were…

Gallery Mondays: #CreekLove
It’s finally back to feeling like spring again, and Earth Day is coming up, so I’ve decided to feature this artwork I found while visiting Austin, Texas in March. The piece was created by Lucas Aoki as part of SPRATX‘s #CreekLove Storm Drain Project to promote keeping the creeks and lakes of Austin free from pollution.…

Gallery Mondays: Monopoly
Tax Day is coming, so I thought I’d make it a bit less stressful with some street art I found at a gas station near the corner of Horatio St. and 8th Avenue in NYC. The art seems to be a joint collaboration by popular graffiti artists Alec Monopoly and King Saladeen. As you probably…
