Gallery Mondays: ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ #MLKDayofService
On this sunny Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I volunteered with City Year New York at Patrick Henry Prep (PS/IS 171 Manhattan) to paint this book cover of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars in one of the school’s stairwells for #MLKDayofService. I was invited to help out with #MLKDayofService by my guy, David. He served…

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: 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: 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…

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: “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: “A Night Out” by Billy
Maybe if I post about fall-related things all week the weather will cool down in time for the first day of autumn on Friday. A few months ago, I came across this really fun apple sculpture while walking through the Meatpacking District in NYC. Called “A Night Out” this ginormous acrylic apple by artist Billy…

Gallery Mondays: Big Bird with Broken Heart
It’s been 16 years since the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. I almost remember it like it was only a few years ago. I was seven years old sitting in my second grade classroom in Queens, NY when it happened. I couldn’t really understand what was going on but everyone was sent home…
