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.

Paul McCartney was denied entry to Tyga’s Grammys after-party on Monday night and it’s seriously just the rudest thing I’ve heard all week. Like, why you gotta be so mean?! Gosh.

Fan Art Fridays: Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp is the latest actor to portray none other than Donald Dump Trump in a biopic/parody. The actor’s role as Donald Trump on Funny or Die is based on the 2016 presidential candidate’s book The Art of the Deal. I couldn’t handle how accurately Johnny Depp portrayed Trump, from the hair to the voice, all the way…

Gallery Mondays: Kobra’s ‘The Kiss’
Valentine’s Day is coming, so it’s time to get a bit lovey-dovey. This colorful mural by Eduardo Kobra might trigger a black and white memory of a real life event that happened in Times Square on V-J Day in 1945 commemorating our victory over Japan. The photo, taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt, captures one of the most…

Gallery Mondays: Mystery Woman at Klimat Lounge
In December, I went to a Monday night Giggle Pit comedy show at Klimat Lounge in the East Village with a few friends. After the show, I needed a quick bathroom break. While waiting on the line, I saw this portrait of a mystery woman staring right back at me. In the bathroom. Totes cool. The…

Gallery Mondays: Goddess in a Sidewalk Vineyard
Back in September 2015, I was walking along 9th Ave in Midtown when I saw this gorgeous goddess outside of Casa di Isacco. I’d passed by the restaurant a couple of times, but I never realized there was a sculpture sitting in that sidewalk vineyard. The sculpture looks like a depiction of Greek/Roman goddess Hebe/Juventus,…
