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.

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: 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: Kobra’s ‘The Kiss’
Valentine’s Day is coming, so it’s time to get a bit lovey-dovey. This colorful mural by Eduardo Kobra might trigger a black and white memory of a real life event that happened in Times Square on V-J Day in 1945 commemorating our victory over Japan. The photo, taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt, captures one of the most…

Gallery Mondays: Mystery Woman at Klimat Lounge
In December, I went to a Monday night Giggle Pit comedy show at Klimat Lounge in the East Village with a few friends. After the show, I needed a quick bathroom break. While waiting on the line, I saw this portrait of a mystery woman staring right back at me. In the bathroom. Totes cool. The…
