WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’?: Steam Cafe Art Show

7 Feb



I’m going to be in an art show tomorrow, with work…ok, one piece, for sale!
If you are in the NYC area, venture across the river to Jersey City (its literally no more than 15 minutes on the PATH train) for Steam Cafe’s, Opening Art Show Reception for their celebration of Black History Month.

Steam Cafe is a new Artists Cafe/Coffee Shop in Jersey City; this is their 3rd art show.

Come out and support!

Oh and that’s not my piece above, mine is a little more risque, and not on the internet…if you come you will see why!

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN?: inspirational souls

25 Dec


Somewhere between my quick business trip to Barbados with Dj Dummy and returning to the cold of NYC, I got a bit of my mojo back!

As my return to NYC tweet last night stated, I’m back on my grind:

…oddly enough in the process of looking for some info and reading the January 2012 issue of Self magazine, I ran into this video featuring A-trak, Curtis Kulig, Carlos Quirarte.  The video is a piece on people grinding in NYC that went with HBO’s now cancelled show, How to Make it in America (I’m sad about the cancellation, but they needed better writers, and needed to stop showing the obvious and develop the not understood). 

As i digress, this is a great piece to get motivated if you lost a little bit of your mojo.

I haven’t exactly been happy with my work over the last few months, but being in school means I’m forced to show things whether I’m ready or not.  So alas, I must show some work.

Come check out the 3rd Year BFA Photography Exhibit, tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Fashion Institute of Technology, 5pm, and see what my fellow juniors and I have been working on. (For those out of the loop for the last 2 1/2 years, I’m a junior at FIT, working on my 2nd Bachelor’s degree. )

Check the link for more info!

Next week Tuesday, June 28th, some of my work will be shown at Aperture Gallery here in NYC.  I participated in a photo camp in May in conjunction with Aperture Gallery and Sony and this is the result of us looking into ‘Culture Now.’  Should be a good night of art and wine!

Loreal Prystaj


Vote for my friend, Loreal Prystaj, she’s in a self-portrait photography contest.  She’s a fine art nude photographer, who I go to school with, and her work is beautiful with a modern perspective.

Check out her work, and do her that solid by voting for it (VOTE HERE).  You can vote everyday until mid-April i think.

I love creative beings, so I had to highlight the limited-edition, hand-crafted luggage by London College of Fashion graduate student, Sara Williams (via Trendland).  The pieces are AMAZING!  …I know I wouldn’t be checking them on the plane though.

The beautiful work costs a pretty penny, and rightfully so. Not only are the pieces the most innovative designs I’ve ever seen, they are made by traditional bridle leather of the finest quality, the brass bands are created by metal crafters, and the saddle stitching is all done by hand.

The designs were made to challenge tradition.  Score!

To read more about the collection visit Trendland or visit www.williams-handmade.com.

If there’s a NYC social event that I’ve been meaning to go to over the years, it’s the Guggenheim’s First Fridays series. Today marks the end of this 5 year Art After Dark event, so I’m going!  Partying the night away, enjoying art and drinks in the beautifully sinuous environment, while having my brain tickled by creative minds, sounds like a psychedelic time.  Even more enticing for the grand finale, is that Chromeo is DJing the event!!! You may remember I was raving about them in December and had their album Fancy Footwork as the Album of the Week.  It’s going to be a great time! Dancing in a museum seems so wrong, but it’s fun to be naughty sometimes.

A new series will start later this year.  For more information about First Fridays or the Guggenheim, click here.

If you’re going let me know or say hi!

Simon Schubert has off-the-wall sculptures and installations, but his work on paper really caught my eye.  He meticulously folds the paper to create elegantly hypnotizing images.  Below are a some of his pieces, you can see the rest of the Paper Series and more of Shuberts’s work at TrendLand.

As much as I love being on vacation in Florida (although it’s HELLA cold right now!), I wish I could be in NYC to take advantage of the free writing workshops at Gotham Writers’ Workshop next week.  I’m particularly interested in the Creative Writing and Screenwriting classes.  Since I can’t go, maybe some of you will get a chance to.  The workshops take place on January 12th and 13th, GWW has the previously mentioned classes, along with Poetry, Stand-Up Comedy, TV Writing and much more.

Check out the details here; I plan on going to their free bookstore series later this month.
