Gallery Mondays: “Balloon Flower” by Jeff Koons
Now, I’m aware that flowers are the last thing that come to mind when it’s almost the third week into winter in NYC, but we’re making an exception for today’s Gallery Mondays. I saw “Balloon Flower,” a balloon-shaped, stainless steel sculpture of a flower, while headed to the 9/11 Memorial Museum with a friend in December.…

Fan Art Fridays: Channing Tatum
To say that the season 2 premiere of Lip Sync Battle on Spike was intense on Thursday night is an understatement. Channing Tatum battled his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum on the show, Channing beating her out with a diva-licious lip syncing of Beyoncé’s “Who Run the World (Girls).” Channing brought Beyoncé herself on stage towards the end of…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Oculus’ by Kristen Jones and Andrew Ginzel
If you’ve ridden the A, C, or E train to Chambers Street in NYC, or ever waited for one of those trains underground, you’ve probably noticed a bunch of eyeballs staring at you. I’ve always found these mosaic eyes to be quite intriguing, and it wasn’t until recently while writing an article for Parachute by…

Fan Art Fridays: Lorde
Happy New Year! One of my favorite music videos of 2015 was “Magnets” feat. Lorde by Disclosure. From Lorde’s makeup, to her outfits in the video, to the dramatic sinking into the pool at the end of the video, it was everything we could ask for an more. The song is also very groovy too,…

Gallery Mondays: Walking Across the Brooklyn Bridge
Last week I went to Tavola on 9th Ave in NYC with some coworkers for our holiday party. On the wall near the window of the restaurant there was this lovely painting that looked like a photograph. I honestly would have went on thinking it was a photograph if I hadn’t gotten closer to it.…

Fan Art Fridays: Elf‘s Buddy and Jovie (Will Ferrell & Zooey Deschanel)
Merry Christmas, everyone! I stayed up last night watching Elf and felt obliged to post fan art from the movie because today’s Fan Art Fridays falls on Christmas! This piece of fan art was done by illustrator Jim McHugh. I just love how cartoon-ish Buddy and Jovie look up a the North Pole. Jovie really looks like Zooey!…

Fan Art Fridays: The 1975’s Matt Healy
Today The 1975 released the music video for their new single “UGH!” After watching it this morning, I just had to make Matt Healy the subject of this week’s Fan Art Fridays. The music video was directed by Adam Powell, who also directed The 1975’s “Girls.” He plays with a lot of psychedelic lighting in…

Gallery Mondays: Frank Leslie’s ‘Illustrated Newspaper’
As a journalist, looking at old newspapers excites me. I love looking at the typeface used and the old photographs placed on the paper’s yellowing pages. But perhaps most of all, I love learning about the history of the publication. While I was sipping on some white wine at Cooper Union during Ada Calhoun’s book…

Fan Art Fridays: Tove Lo
I was listening to Coldplay’s new album A Head Full of Dreams on Spotify today and I got really excited when I saw that Tove Lo is featured on their song “Fun.” She brings an interesting vibe to the album with her alt-pop vocals and multi-dimensional personality. Her voice blends very well on the ballady track…
