Gallery Mondays: Kimberly Witham’s Sleepy Squirrel
You may remember the beautiful deer by Kimberly Witham from On Ripeness and Rot at Last Rites Gallery that I posted for a Gallery Mondays last fall. Since winter is coming, I’ve decided to feature another one of her creations, this time, a squirrel. She features squirrel’s in quite a few of her pieces. Squirrels are such random…

Gallery Mondays: Sea Lion @ National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey
Last week I got invited to one of the preview dates for the new National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey in Times Square and it was amazing. I love animals, and this experience just made me appreciate marine life so much more! My favorite parts of the experience were the kelp forest exhibits. After the maze,…

Gallery Mondays: “Jeweled Toad”
If you’ve seen my accessories collection, you’d know that I LOVE owls. I have an owl ring, several owl necklaces, an owl phone case… The owl obsession is real. So you can imagine back in fall 2015 while I was visiting the Getty Museum in Los Angeles how excited I got when I saw this…

Gallery Mondays: Ribbonesia @ #ShindoUSA
I walked passed Shindo USA in the Garment District of NYC today, and I came across this amazing fox by Ribbonesia made out of ribbon. I can’t imagine how much patience it takes to make something like this, but it’s gorgeous! I’m not sure if Shindo USA added the green tie to this fox, but…

Fan Art Fridays: Rabbids
Since the Easter bunny is taking over this weekend, I thought it might be nice to give a different rabbit, or should I say Rabbids, some attention before then. Rabbids are the French alien-rabbit stars of Nickelodeon’s Rabbids Invasion. They’re super weird and they get into all sorts of trouble, making them hilarious to watch.…

Gallery Mondays: Winter Rabbit
We had our first official snow day of 2017 this weekend. Not fun. On my way to the N train last week, I walked by Chase bank on West 39th between Fashion Ave. and Broadway when I saw this cute winter rabbit on the window. I just love how innocent and vulnerable he looks! The…

Gallery Mondays: On Ripeness and Rot
Is it still hunting season? I saw this rather interesting piece of art last month at Last Rites Gallery in Midtown. The piece is part of Kimberly Witham’s On Ripeness and Rot series, which contrasts fresh fruits with dead animal carcasses. How’s that for morbid? It’s crazy how she combines the two so gracefully, almost as they…

Gallery Mondays: Winter Wooden Deer
If you passed by or entered a TD Bank during December 2015, you might have seen these adorable wooden crafted animals sporting the bank’s green accessories. This little deer was sitting on a ledge at the TD Bank near 9th Ave in Midtown, NYC. He’s got a green striped scarf on with a little TD…

Gallery Mondays: Kaleidoscope Tiger + Bath & Body Works Giveaway
Earlier this month I went to the NJEA conference in Atlantic City for work. At the conference, there was a small exhibit of student artwork. This piece by an 11th grader named Kiomary Espichan was the first I laid eyes on. I love how the tiger looks like a kaleidoscope as it’s turning into shape.…

Gallery Mondays: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s ‘Touc, Seated on a Table’
I’ve been missing California lately, so for today’s Gallery Mondays, I picked a piece of art I saw while visiting Hammer Museum in Los Angeles—French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s Touc, Seated on a Table. I love how the table isn’t really the first thing you see when you look at this painting, yet it’s in the title.…
