Gallery Mondays: Mark Mothersbaugh’s ‘Myopia’
Back in March when I visited Austin, Texas, I dropped by The Contemporary Austin to check out some art. The exhibit on view at the time was Mark Mothersbaugh’s ‘Myopia.’ My favorite part of the exhibit was the room filled with albums upon albums of pop art. Each card in the 4-section albums come across as…

Gallery Mondays: Audrey Hepburn
A few weeks ago I was walking down Steinway Street in Astoria with my friends and I saw this lovely multi-color street art mural of Audrey Hepburn. The amount of trucks that passed by while I was trying to take this photo is absolutely maddening. Anyway, if you’re passing by Steinway Thrift Shop near the…

Gallery Mondays: Her Conference 2016 at Old Slip
Over the weekend I attended Her Conference 2016 at Old Slip in the Financial District of NYC. The building is super lavish, complete with auditorium space, conference rooms, and a dining hall.

Gallery Mondays: Teacups and Teapots
Happy Independence Day! I saw this lovely work of art above the table I sat at with my family while eating at Perkins in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada back in May. I was fascinated by how detailed each teacup and teapot were depicted! The signature on the bottom of the piece was very hard to…

Fan Art Fridays: Harry Styles
So first he cuts his hair and now he’s going solo. As in, signed-a-record-deal-with-Columbia-as-a solo-artist solo. Harry Styles is makin’ moves, yo. I’m not a fan girl when it comes to One Direction or anything, but since Zayn left I really haven’t paid much attention to the band. Harry’s departure (if it’s for good) will…

Gallery Mondays: Marcos Chin’s ‘Fulton Street, Beneath the Beautiful Blue’
I was riding the Q53 bus a few days ago when I saw illustrator Marcos Chin’s Fulton Street, Beneath the Beautiful Blue above the seats in front of the bus. If you ride the NYC MTA subway, you’ve probably seen some of his other art, filled with interesting people and vibrant colors. What I love the…
