Sunday: Hello High Line Park! or Rock on Diller Scofidio + Renfro and James Corner Field Operations!

Finally it stopped raining long enough for us to check out the newly opened High Line Park. I think this is the best urban park I have been to! It was amazinging! There are such amazing privileged views you get from up there. That alone makes it a must see. But the really great pleasant surprise is that the architectural and landscape design is actually most impressive and expertly done. I’m so glad to see how far Diller and Scofidio […]

Saturday: Making a Music Video, or Rock on Magico and Masa!

Saturday was pretty interesting for me. I recorded several sequences for a new music video that friends Masa Nakamura and his wife Magico are directing on Saturday. The video is going to be very cool. It’s highly choreographed, so it was definitely tricky getting all the moves right, but fortunately things went very well and I can’t wait to show the final product. You’ll have to stay tuned for a couple weeks though. In the meantime, here’s a still from […]

Friday: Southern Foodways Alliance, Rock On! (or- I got to meet Jacques Pepin!!)

Wow, I had a really great time at the Southern Foodways Alliance’s event ‘Craig Claiborne: Mississippi Boy Makes Good, Defines and Deifies American Cookery.‘ This was a free event on Friday Evening at the Astor Center, but apparently you had to know about it way in advance in order to reserve a spot. Fortunately my wife has some connections with the Alliance and had our places reserved. I’m not very knowledgeable about US culinary history, so this was actually a […]

Ernesto Neto at the Armory, New York City

I visited the Ernesto Neto show a couple weeks ago and finally got a chance to post my photos. I highly recommend checking out the show. It will be up until June 14, so hurry up and check it out! 643 Park Ave between 66th and 67th. Oh, and make sure to check out the rest of the Armory while you’re there. It’s a fascinating building!

Still more Street Art at Broadway and Howard St.

I caught the Karl Haendel ‘scribble’ street art going up recently and have been meaning to post it. It’s finished now as you can see by the second shot. It’s kind of a interesting process when the reproduction of the original work takes much longer and is much more painstaking to make than the original work.

The Crystal Method Live at Webster Hall

So, The Crystal Method played Webster Hall on Saturday and they guest-listed a few of my crew so we could check out the graphics we did and I even got a chance to show our video as a way of intro-ing the band. Matisyahu showed up for an inpromptu performance with TCM on a song as well. The band and their crew were all very cool and appreciative of the work we did for the show. All in all, it […]

More Spring Season Street Art

I had been meaning to photograph this for quite a while. It’s on a phone booth around the corner from my place, so I see it every day. Turns out this Tommy Kane guy has been quite prolific – you’ve definitely seen his advertising stuff before. I guess now he’s focusing more on his illustration work and he’s quite good. Here’s his illustration site.

Spring Season Street Art

So, with this amazingly nice day of spring in New York City, I was out in the ‘hood and found this piece of street art on Howard, just around the corner from Broadway.I quite like it. Anyone know who did it? I’ve seen this person’s stuff before, but can’t remember who it is.
