McKinney Arts 
I was walking up West Broadway the other day, when I spotted this figure on the exterior of 383 West Broadway, current home of “Free People,” a women’s clothing store. But this figure comes from the past, back a few decades, when SoHo was the center of the art world in New York City. This … Read more
Every once in a while I’ll see a real estate photo that screams out as a perfect room for a (virtual) art installation. I saw this room with the funky 1970s wallpaper and orangish-brown paint and decided I would Photoshop one of my paintings into the interior. The painting is titled “Spanish Excursionism,” and is … Read more
I’ve seen plenty of Tesla Cybertrucks, and have to admit, I like the look of them. But as I was out and about on an errand, I did a double-take when I saw this Tesla Cybertruck, as it had a custom paint job to advertise the Future Remodeling company. It’s a pretty striking design, especially … Read more
Today has been something out of my normal routine, and these pictures above come from an unexpected stroll through Park Ridge, New Jersey. I’ve been helping a friend by working at her house and watching her dog while she’s away on a business trip. I decided to go for a walk to take a break … Read more

I saw this graffiti in Madrid, accompanied by the message “Painting is Obsession.” As an artist, I agree with this sentiment! It’s hard to know if this message was written by the graffiti artist who painted the tag below it, but considering the abstract expressionist nature of the graffiti, I like them paired together for … Read more
On a trip up to Cooperstown in the summer of 2023, I had a stop in the town of Franklin, NY, which has stuck in my mind ever since. There is a charming Main Street that is only a few blocks long, and I had lunch and then wandered in and out of the various … Read more
I received a tip from a friend yesterday that the former storefront where I had McKinney Arts in 1996-97 was back on the market, available for rent. I had made plans to go into NYC to see some gallery shows today, so I couldn’t resist walking over to the East Village to see the current … Read more
I went to Mexico City on vacation about 10 days ago, and on my first day, I was wandering around the Zocalo, when at one point I noticed a crowd of people surrounding other people behind a metal barricade. When I noticed people taking pictures of this person, the woman shown above, it made me … Read more
