Fan Art Fridays: Our Newest Bond Boy, Sam Smith
Earlier this week, Sam Smith confirmed he is singing the theme for the next James Bond movie, Spectre. What?! He lied to us back in July about not being the one singing the theme. Jeez. That must have been some strict contract agreement he was under. The song is called “Writing’s on the Wall,” and we’ll get…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ Exhibit @ Hofstra’s Filderman Gallery
Since I graduated from Hofstra University in December, I didn’t go back to school last week, and I’m feeling a little bit nostalgic. I visited the David Filderman Gallery at Hofstra for a news writing class assignment during the fall of 2013, and there I found some of the most beautiful Japanese ladies in the Land…

Fan Art Fridays: Kanye West for President
As many of you have heard, Kanye West announced his 2020 presidential run during Sunday’s MTV VMA award show. I can never tell if he’s under the influence when he says crazy stuff like this. Anyway, it looks like his fans saw this coming and created some campaign art for him. See the original on Pinterest, and…

Gallery Mondays: Ever Blanco Valverde’s Owl @ Chashama 266 Gallery
Earlier this month, I was running an errand in NYC and stumbled across one of Chashama‘s exhibit spaces on 37th Street in the Garment District. The space is only open by appointment, so I couldn’t get in. Nonetheless, I managed to snap a photo of this stern-looking owl painting by Ever Blanco Valverde through the glass. The solo…

Fan Art Fridays: Mike Ross from ‘Suits’
After watching the heart-wrenching season 5 finale of USA’s Suits this week, I just had to dedicate this week’s Fan Art Fridays to Mike Ross. Those of you that saw the episode, titled “Faith,” will understand. I think this pencil crayon drawing by The Soulful Artist on Tumblr does Mike Ross justice. See the original here.

Gallery Mondays: Aristide Maillol’s ‘The River’
Back in the fall of 2013, I visited the MoMa Sculpture Garden. I got there right before it closed so I didn’t get to enjoy it too much, but it’s a great place to sit down and have a peaceful reading session. My favorite sculpture was The River by French sculptor Aristide Maillol. The statue lies…

Gallery Mondays: Laura Little Curated
Last week Thursday I attended Laura Little Curated’s launch event in NYC at 28on27 with my friend Kristell. The event featured Laura Little’s photography and some of the clothing she designed using her own photographs. The DJ at the event spun some pretty cool tunes. No one at the event knew who he was, but…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Rise’ by Stoupakis @ Last Rites Gallery
Oh, what some of us would do to be submerged in a body of water like this woman right now. While I was checking out the latest exhibit at Last Rites Gallery called “The Kindly Ones,” I stumbled upon this beautiful painting by Davis Stoupakis. The painting is called Rise, and the red color he…

Fan Art Fridays: Happy Belated Birthday, Selena Gomez!
Selena Gomez turned turned 23 this week! Woohoo! Apparently, on her birthday (July 22nd), Justin Bieber supposedly sang her a “Happy Birthday” song over FaceTime, complete with a rose and all (not sure which version of the birthday song, but I hope it was PG). Some stars have a habit of giving the fans a…
