Gallery Mondays: #BoxTruckGuardians by SINNED
During my lunch break sometime last week, I saw this truck in the turning lane on 39th Street and 8th Avenue in Midtown, NYC. I usually hate trying to take photos of things in moving traffic since they almost always come out blurry, but the light for the turning lane was red so I took…

Gallery Mondays: #25 by Wane Cod & Lucky Liz
I turned 23 this past weekend, and it truly occurred to me how old I am when I just looked up when the last Garfield movie was released. More than 10 YEARS AGO. What even?! Anyway, I see this truck by Wane Cod and Lucky Liz every time I run an errand for my boss…

Gallery Mondays: On Ripeness and Rot
Is it still hunting season? I saw this rather interesting piece of art last month at Last Rites Gallery in Midtown. The piece is part of Kimberly Witham’s On Ripeness and Rot series, which contrasts fresh fruits with dead animal carcasses. How’s that for morbid? It’s crazy how she combines the two so gracefully, almost as they…

Gallery Mondays: URBANIMAL’s Pet Dragon
I’ve had this pic sitting in my phone for a few month’s now. I felt it was time to unleash the dragon in this graffiti by URBANIMAL. I saw this piece on a truck on the corner of West 37th and 8th Ave, and I immediately knew it was by URBANIMAL because of the way the…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Shadows & Substance’ by Marcia Haufrecht
I was walking by Chashama 266 in Midtown West last month when I saw these really great paintings. I loved the summer vibes I got from them so I snapped a pic from the other side of the glass door. I really need to make an appointment to see one of Chashama 266’s exhibits at some…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Suggestion Mark’ by Jennifer Grimyser
Last week, I stumbles upon a field of hands on display at chashama 266 in Midtown. Called Suggestion Mark, the exhibit is by Jennifer Grimyser. She explores the concept of verbal and non-verbal communication using hands that appear to be making signs similar to those in American Sign Language. I never learned to sign because I…

Gallery Mondays: URBANIMAL Graffiti on B.K. Express Truck
A few months ago I spotted this B.K. Express Truck sitting in the parked lane on 8th Avenue in Midtown with URBANIMAL graffiti all over it. The truck has a Michigan address on it, which is enough to pique my curiosity. The URBANIMAL graffiti was just an added bonus. The first thing I noticed were…

Gallery Mondays: Goddess in a Sidewalk Vineyard
Back in September 2015, I was walking along 9th Ave in Midtown when I saw this gorgeous goddess outside of Casa di Isacco. I’d passed by the restaurant a couple of times, but I never realized there was a sculpture sitting in that sidewalk vineyard. The sculpture looks like a depiction of Greek/Roman goddess Hebe/Juventus,…

Gallery Mondays: Winter Wooden Deer
If you passed by or entered a TD Bank during December 2015, you might have seen these adorable wooden crafted animals sporting the bank’s green accessories. This little deer was sitting on a ledge at the TD Bank near 9th Ave in Midtown, NYC. He’s got a green striped scarf on with a little TD…

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…
