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…

Gallery Mondays: Landfill
This painting hangs on the wall in the lobby of the building I work in. I’m always rushing in and out through the revolving doors, so I never get a chance to appreciate it. There’s a lot going on in this painting of four men in a landfill. To be frank, this could actually be…

Fan Art Fridays: Lionel Richie
Lionel Richie was in the news this week because he’s become the latest of a large group of musicians that want to collaborate with the lovely Adele. Get in line, buddy. Apparently, when he first found out the name of Adele’s single “Hello,” he thought it was a cover of his original 1983 hit of…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Body and Matter’ @ Dominique Lévy Gallery
Back in March I visited Galerie Perrotin with some friends to see Xavier Veilhan’s wooden Daft Punk sculptures. On the second floor was the Body and Matter: The Art of Kazuo Shiraga and Satoru Hoshino exhibit at the Dominique Lévy Gallery. The abstract art in the exhibit looked much like the one above, some with varying colors. Apparently…

Fan Art Fridays: CutiePieMarzia & PewDiePie (Marzia and Felix)
Almost exactly a year ago, PewDiePie (Felix Kjellberg) found this digital drawing a fan named Sofia made of him and his girlfriend CutiePieMarzia (Marzia Bisognin). They look so real it’s scary! Some fans commented that Marzia looks like a Disney princess (which she does, indeed). Sofia managed to get her eyebrows just right! Marzia and Felix…

Gallery Mondays: Kaleidoscope Tiger + Bath & Body Works Giveaway
Earlier this month I went to the NJEA conference in Atlantic City for work. At the conference, there was a small exhibit of student artwork. This piece by an 11th grader named Kiomary Espichan was the first I laid eyes on. I love how the tiger looks like a kaleidoscope as it’s turning into shape.…
