Gallery Mondays: Michael Jackson Eating Popcorn
For the BET Social Awards last month, BET had a fun Museum of Meme in Soho, NYC that I couldn’t miss checking out. While several of the pieces were quite funny, the meme featuring a painting of “Thriller” singer Michael Jackson stuffing his face with popcorn in a movie theater (essentially inspired by the meme…

Fan Art Fridays: BØRNS
BØRNS released his new album Blue Madonna today, and I absolutely love it. It’s got that smooth, laid-back grooviness I’ve come to really enjoy about his music. The album features Lana del Rey on “God Save Our Young Blood” and the title track “Blue Madonna.” My faves on the album are “Sweet Dreams”, “Iceberg”, “Second…

Gallery Mondays: Wham! Holy Sunset Batman by Alix Ankele
A few days ago, I dropped in to see Alix Akele’s artwork currently hanging in the lobby of Kaufman Arcade in the Garment District of NYC.

Just a little over 48 hours from now, Lady Gaga will take the stage at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas for the Super Bowl LI halftime show.

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…

Fan Art Fridays: Happy Birthday, Mindy Kaling!
Mindy Kaling turned 37 today. Gosh, I hope I look as good as her when I’m that age! In honor of her birthday, I’ve decided to feature this watercolor created by Liana Kangas Neff, inspired by a line from The Mindy Project where Mindy says, “I eat cereal out of wine glasses.” I kind of want to…
