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: “Crazy From the Heat #2” by Beau LaBute
Happy National Comic Book Day! I really wanted to feature comic book art in honor of National Comic Book Day today, but then I realized I don’t have any in my camera roll. So, the closest piece of art I could dig up that looked similar to comic book art is this ink on paper…

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: Peace
While strolling past a school under construction in East Harlem, I saw this adorbs crochet peace sign made of yarn on the fence.

Gallery Mondays: #MacysFlowerShow 2017 @ Macy’s Herald Sq
I somehow managed to squeeze some time in after work to navigate the maze that is Macy’s Herald Square in order to see the carnival-themed Macy’s Flower Show 2017. I wasn’t able to see it last year (for reasons I cannot remember) but this year, I was determined to check it out, and I wasn’t…

Since September, the Garment District in NYC has seen a splash of vibrantly colored animals along Broadway between 36th and 41st Streets. Created by Taiwanese artist Hung Yi, the installation is called Fancy Animal Carnival. It’s very fitting, especially since these animals, which include pandas, camels, and bulls, are decorated so intricately with carnival-like colors. My…

Gallery Mondays: A Bird’s Life by Elizabeth Grajales
Time for some art from New York City’s underground! On the way to the gym last month, I saw these gorgeous tiled art pieces by Elizabeth Grajales called A Bird’s Life on the platform of the 1 train at Penn Station. I was drawn to it immediately because of the soft green color. I then noticed…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Private Passage’
I just had a housewarming party on Friday, so I’m out of wine, and this week’s Gallery Mondays is reminding me I have to go by some more! Anyway, I saw this really cool wine bottle one day while sitting at Pier 96 in NYC. It’s called Private Passage, and it was created by Malcolm Cochran.…
