Gallery Mondays: Damien Mitchell’s Peregrine Falcon
Remember that awesome Audubon Mural Project mural I saw a couple of months ago? The “Western Tanager” by Yu-baba? Well I found another one, this time a “Peregrine Falcon” by Australian street artist Damien Mitchell! This mural can be found on St. Nicholas Ave. between W 147 and W 148 Street near the A, C,…

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…

Fan Art Fridays: Loonette the Clown
A couple of weeks ago, my mom and I had one of those “where are they now” moments while discussing one of my favorite 90s children’s television characters, Loonette the Clown, from The Big Comfy Couch. As anyone does, we did a quick Google search and found that Loonette was played by Alyson Court, who has…

Gallery Mondays: Agoraphobic Gallery
As a Google Maps Local Guide, I was invited to visit Agoraphobic Gallery over on 39 Spring Street in NYC earlier this month. The gallery was quite interesting, as is the woman behind it, Jacqui Kenny, a.k.a. the Agoraphobic Traveller. Her agoraphobia makes it difficult to travel, so she peruses Google Maps street view as…

Gallery Mondays: Sea Lion @ National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey
Last week I got invited to one of the preview dates for the new National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey in Times Square and it was amazing. I love animals, and this experience just made me appreciate marine life so much more! My favorite parts of the experience were the kelp forest exhibits. After the maze,…

Gallery Mondays: “Jeweled Toad”
If you’ve seen my accessories collection, you’d know that I LOVE owls. I have an owl ring, several owl necklaces, an owl phone case… The owl obsession is real. So you can imagine back in fall 2015 while I was visiting the Getty Museum in Los Angeles how excited I got when I saw this…
