Primus | A Thoroughly Creative Experience
When you’ve got it, you’ve got it. And Primus definitely has it. They’ve been around since the mid 1980s and remain consistently solid musically and as heavily experimental and progressive as ever. I typically enjoy three solid meals a day of all-things-music (with extra helpings of rock) and consider myself reasonably well-versed but I wasn’t [...]
New York Adorned
N.Y. Adorned “Tradition” from Evan Owen Dennis on Vimeo. When I decided some years ago to make a permanent and meaningful mark on my skin, I looked for a parlor with talented artists and a reputation for having the highest quality and standards. After asking everyone I knew who had tattoos- and for that matter, [...]
NYC Street Food | Food Trucks
I am one who loves what has affectionately become known as “street food”. Not necessarily the dirty-water dogs or the pretzels warmed over charcoal then sprayed with water and dredged in kosher salt. Although I guess there are times that could warrant such delicacies. What I’m talking about is the ever-growing choices of absolutely delicious [...]
Oyster Bar | Vintage NYC Dining
Commuting is not always the greatest thing. Week to week and year to year, back and forth out of Grand Central Terminal can be a bit monotonous. With that said, there are bright spots. The nearly 100 year old structure itself is breathtakingly beautiful (thanks to the late Jacqueline Onassis’s power of persuasion in saving [...]
Free History Lessons | Union Square NYC
With everything in New York City so compressed and with everyone moving so quickly, a person can often miss what is right underfoot. Yes, NYC is not “ancient” in the global sense, but we do have quite a bit of evidence of it’s history all around us. I have the pleasure of emerging from the [...]
Signing Your Work | Cast Iron Building Facades
For anyone who lives in or frequents Soho, New York City, buildings with cast iron facades are a familiar sight. They are so beautiful that one can’t pass by without noticing their unique texture and details. The majority of the cast iron buildings in Soho were made by local firms using cast iron sections made [...]
Harley Davidson | Raising New York
Out and about on 19th Street in Chelsea NYC last week, I came upon this serious piece of heavy metal that demanded my attention. I immediately thought of Raising Arizona’s “Biker of the Apocalypse”. The matte finish paint (or is that just exhaust buildup?), sawed off pipes and sprayed shearling seat cover are definitely not [...]
Photoshop Goodness | Textures Along The Way
Its amazing what you find when you’re not looking where you’re going. Looking up, down, around, under, and to the sides makes walking difficult, but there is just a never-ending assortment of “things” worth seeing.
Bryant Park | Branding of a Public Space
Bryant Park is right in the heart of New York City’s midtown and is visited every day of the week by many thousands of people looking for a little break from their office buildings or from the endless miles of pavement. It is a refuge in which a person can enjoy some peace and relative [...]
Art of Facts | FUTURA
Art Of Facts (Feat. FUTURA) from 13thWitness™ on Vimeo. The fluidity and confidence of Futura’s movements really say it all. Permanent markers and black spray paint on crisp white paper are very unforgiving mediums in which to dabble. If you’re going to paint, paint like you mean it. Really graceful work in front of the [...]
