Gallery Mondays: Monopoly
Tax Day is coming, so I thought I’d make it a bit less stressful with some street art I found at a gas station near the corner of Horatio St. and 8th Avenue in NYC. The art seems to be a joint collaboration by popular graffiti artists Alec Monopoly and King Saladeen. As you probably…

Gallery Mondays: Oda & King’s “Facelift”
Since Friday is April Fool’s Day, I decided to provide you all with some humor for this week’s Gallery Mondays. Back in the fall of 2015, I saw this piece by artist couple Oda & King in a group exhibit called Transfigure at Last Rite’s Gallery in NYC. I think it was the tape and this…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Holding Out’ by Seward Johnson
I hope this little old lady wasn’t waiting for a cab, because she’s got no free hands to flag one down! Maybe she was waiting for a cab. That’s probably why she looks so upset and annoyed… She also seems to have gotten a lot done. She got groceries, did a little shopping at Talbots.…

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…
