Gallery Mondays: Rainy Day
On my trip to Austin in March, I stayed at an Airbnb that had two very nice paintings on the wall. This scene of two women holding umbrellas as they walk toward the Eiffel Tower was one of them. Today was another rainy day in New York. Upstate even got some snow. So much for…

Gallery Mondays: Oda & King’s “Facelift”
Since Friday is April Fool’s Day, I decided to provide you all with some humor for this week’s Gallery Mondays. Back in the fall of 2015, I saw this piece by artist couple Oda & King in a group exhibit called Transfigure at Last Rite’s Gallery in NYC. I think it was the tape and this…

Fan Art Fridays: Superman
Happy Good Friday! Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is in theaters this wonderfully sunny day. As a result, Syfy is showing all of the Superman movies, which is totally cool with me. Apparently the critics aren’t really loving Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice . The negative reviews have been rolling in since Thursday afternoon. Anyhow,…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Holding Out’ by Seward Johnson
I hope this little old lady wasn’t waiting for a cab, because she’s got no free hands to flag one down! Maybe she was waiting for a cab. That’s probably why she looks so upset and annoyed… She also seems to have gotten a lot done. She got groceries, did a little shopping at Talbots.…

Omj, guys, Adam Levine and his wife Behati Prinsloo are expecting their first child! I could not be happier for them. She’s already three to four months along, so we should be seeing a new little Levine in winter 2016. Can you imagine how cute it would be if they have a boy and he…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Elevate’ by Joyce Dallal
Since everyone is going on spring break, I decided to pull this gem by Joyce Dallal from my camera roll. I saw this piece at LAX on the way back from Los Angeles in September 2015. Called Elevate, Joyce Dallal uses paper airplanes to symbolize the departures that occur at the airport on a daily basis. What…

Gallery Mondays: Shout Out to the Bear @ the #Oscars
Last night was one for the history books. Oscars 2016 will go down as the year that the Academy blatantly disrespected Black History Month by leaving all Blacks/African-Americans out of their nominations. It will also go down as the year we were ready to throw the bear from The Revenant at them if they’d also blatantly disrespected…

Fan Art Fridays: #FreeKesha
Spreading some love to Kesha Rose Sebert for this week’s Fan Art Fridays. I remember when Kesha came to perform Hofstra University for the Fall Fest. I was in my junior year on that Saturday night in September 2013 when she opened the show with “Warrior.” That night was a blast. I went home with…

Gallery Mondays: “Winter Break” by Adrian Tomine
Mid-winter break is over, kiddos. Last week I found myself wandering into The POWERHOUSE Arena, a bookstore/exhibition space in Brooklyn, where I came across several prints by cartoonist Adrian Tomine. Tomine’s “Winter Break” stood out to me the most for two reasons. The first was the fact that it was actually mid-winter break for NYC public school students,…
