Gallery Mondays: ‘Happy City’ by Peter Sis
Happy New Year! I snapped a pic of this giant eye-shaped subway art at 86th Street on the 4, 5, 6 line last January. The piece is part of Czech-born artist Peter Sis’ Happy City. From afar, this simply looks like a blue eye, and probably nothing more. However, if you get closer to it, you’ll notice…

Gallery Mondays: Kimberly Witham’s Sleepy Squirrel
You may remember the beautiful deer by Kimberly Witham from On Ripeness and Rot at Last Rites Gallery that I posted for a Gallery Mondays last fall. Since winter is coming, I’ve decided to feature another one of her creations, this time, a squirrel. She features squirrel’s in quite a few of her pieces. Squirrels are such random…

Gallery Mondays: URBANIMAL Graffiti on AI Moving Express Truck
I saw another one of URBANIMAL’s creations on a truck near my job one evening a couple of months ago. I love seeing these unexpectedly pop up on trucks in NYC. This truck happened to be an AI Moving Express truck, and the art on it was both subtle and vibrant at the same time.…

Gallery Mondays: We CAN Coexist
In the final minutes of the Canstruction NYC 2017 exhibit at Brookfield Place, I saw this amazing piece of can art called “We CAN Coexist”. I can’t stop thinking about it. Created by RAND Engineering & Architecture, the piece symbolizes a rainbow of differences. From the Jewish star, to Yin and Yang and the Cross…

Gallery Mondays: Freeport Spirits
I’ve been dabbling in a bit of historical fiction writing over the last couple of months. I recently wrote a short story about pirates, so when I came across this photo in my camera roll I decided it was fitting for this week’s Gallery Mondays. This seafaring scene was found on the wall outside of…

Gallery Mondays: Chelsea Guitars
A couple of weeks ago, I walked past Chelsea Guitars and saw this awesome sculpture of a woman sitting outside the shop with a mini guitar in hand. It took me a while to realize this woman is Marilyn Monroe. Boy, I’m slow sometimes! Marilyn Monoe is wearing her infamous white dress from Seven Year Itch,…

Gallery Mondays: “Knickerbocker Ave” by Ryan Peltier
If NYC had an underground Halloween/macabre dance party, I think it would definitely look like Ryan Peltier’s “Knickerbocker Ave”. Especially if this underground party took place at a Brooklyn subway stop. “Knickerbocker Ave” is one of those subway art cards I can’t stop staring at. Whenever I look at it, I notice something more and more…
