I was walking to South 4 Bar in Brooklyn for a Sob Sisters meeting that Ada Calhoun invited me to this evening when I stumbled upon this lovely street art next to Fabiane’s Cafe & Pastry Shop by Tom Bob (@tombobnyc on Instagram). As if the dogs of NYC weren’t cute enough, now there’s six…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Happy City’ by Peter Sis
Happy New Year! I snapped a pic of this giant eye-shaped subway art at 86th Street on the 4, 5, 6 line last January. The piece is part of Czech-born artist Peter Sis’ Happy City. From afar, this simply looks like a blue eye, and probably nothing more. However, if you get closer to it, you’ll notice…

Gallery Mondays: Hung Yi’s Fancy Animal Carnival
Since September, the Garment District in NYC has seen a splash of vibrantly colored animals along Broadway between 36th and 41st Streets.

Gallery Mondays: WHAC Mural @ 181 Street Station
Can you believe I didn’t see this mural as I exited the 181 Street subway station in NYC a few weeks ago? It was impossible to miss on my way back home, though. Created by WHAC (Washington Heights Arts & Comics), the mural depicts several comic-esque animals in shades of green, pink, and blue against…

Fan Art Fridays: Snoop Dogg
Or is he still going by Snoop Lion? Regardless, the rapper is the voice of a new nature/wildlife web series called Planet Snoop on Merry Jane. I wish this was an April Fool’s joke, but I’m being serious. Who in their right mind would cast Snoop Dogg for this kind of voice role? What is he going…
