There’s a feature in the Sunday NY Times that I enjoy, called “Routine.” It’s an interview of sorts, where the person being profiled explains what they like to do on a weekend day. One that caught my attention recently was a “Routine” with Wendell Pierce, an actor that I enjoyed seeing on the Tom Clancy … Read more
I was scrolling through Instagram the other day, and saw a reel by David Choe. I can’t find the specific reel now to link to it, so I’ll just include a link here to his profile, @davidchoe. In the reel, he was discussing having creative block in the art studio, and so he was experimenting … Read more
On my first night in Madrid, I wandered the streets for hours, taking in as much as I could. While I was in the neighborhood of Gran Via, I was wandering side streets in addition to the famous Gran Via thoroughfare, and when I was on Calle de la Montera, this mural caught my eye. … Read more
I was recently in an At Home store, and was amazed at how much art they have for sale. It’s mass-produced and certainly on the “safe” side, image-wise, meaning simple abstractions, pop culture images, and fun, playful art (see below).
