Paper Fortress Films | Keeping Up With Stebs
I stopped by the Paper Fortress to see what Mr. Stebs Schinnerer had been up to since last visiting with him (March 23, 2010)- and it looks like he’s been a busy man, to say the least. He’s been on a country-wide tour with his friend Johnny Cupcakes for the Suitcase Tour / Back To [...]
New York Eats | Mike’s American Bar & Grill
Of any place in which I’ve ever eaten, Mike’s American Bar & Grill stands out as one of the very best and most memorable- for so many reasons. It was located at 46th St. and 10th Ave. in New York City, in the area known now as Clinton, more appropriately know as Hell’s Kitchen at [...]
Street Art | Common Ground
Toronto No matter where I’ve gone, street art is always present and is most always interesting. Some is clearly created by more professional-level artists (like the one below- obviously the work of a master). Yes, I believe those are what you think they are.
Vintage Souvenir Mailbags
Evidently quite the popular item at American tourist spots during the early years of the last century, the souvenir mail pouch must have been a nice surprise for the recipient when opening the mailbox. The New York City and Yellowstone Old Faithful mail pouches were found at the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena, CA. [...]
High and Low Art | The New York Times
High and Low Art: Leslie Buck’s coffee cup design and Picasso’s Dora Maar Yesterday’s New York Times really got me thinking about how art of all kinds is in and around our lives and is most often not presented to us as such, but nonetheless is here for us to enjoy and appreciate.
Shepard Fairey | Wooster Collective
As Shepard Fairey notes on his site- “The MAY DAY show will be the first opportunity to pick up these new screen prints based on paintings I did for the show. There will be a very limited release of each of the Iggy Pop and Debbie Harry prints signed by them at the show… extra [...]
Robert Mars | Visual Storyteller | Chronicles of Americana
I would be surprised if Robert Mars sleeps more than an hour a night. As both the full time design director of Zoo York and full time fine artist, he has managed to squeeze two full lives into one. With all that going on in his day-to-day though, he manages to remain friendly, positive, and [...]
Grahame Fowler Menswear New York | The Find
Grahame Fowler’s menswear shop is the kind of find that makes you stop and say “how come I didn’t know about this before”, when you happen upon it. Only open since last summer, I don’t feel too awful for just now learning about it (to be honest, my friend Michael of Wonderland gave me the [...]
Odin New York Menswear Shops
Odin in the West Village It’s always worth noting when you come across a shop that is run by a staff as nice as the clothes they sell. A lot of times it seems that the attitude grows exponentially with a shop’s price tags. Not the case at the Odin shops in NYC. Both the [...]
Le Labo | Perfume & Candles, Quality & Packaging
Le Labo Fragrances on New York’s Elizabeth St. combines beautiful packaging and presentation with top quality products. Make sure to walk down Elizabeth slowly though, as the outside of the shop is so understated that you may stroll right on by.
