Thirsty Pixels

Friend to the arts and amazing artist Emily Heochowicz is raising money to keep her work ALIVE...as a college student in NYC, I can imagine. Check out her blog here she has signed prints on sale and original sketches for $20.

Eye See You....

There is something undeniably intriguing about conspiracy and the history of organizing around the theory of ruling the world. How's this image for you? This is from a few years ago, fashion photographer Emma Summerton took it, I love it. Who is watching? Why? If they are should we care? I guess if they are, we might as well look dam good, check it...get your Masonic on:

I wanna apologize...

these boots were made for walking and they're gone! Too bad for you and I who adored them so, they're on their way to New Orleans.
Speaking of NOLA, you all know I am obsessed and fascinated with Louisiana, my hubby sends me a link to this:


So that's a Victorian style Shotgun house. He's sick of the grit and the over-stimulation of NYC...though this city, my city, is so magical and full, it is also rude, and quite harsh at times. With two children, it's a challenge indeed. But even more of challenge with two babes is to pick up and relocate away from all one knows, where most of my family is etc. While if we were still just us two minus our joyful babies, I would entertain the idea in a heartbeat...but at the same time, I would hate to be an occupier, like an non-native taking someone's home after Katrina, ya know?

Who are these folks in NYC???

Little Syria it was...please, let's all read and absorb education.
Beloved NYC belongs to those of the world.
Learn: In the year 1890...

I'm Baaaaaa-aaaack

Creativity can be soooooooooooooooo scarce when a well deserved break is needed. I am amped up and ready to move one way...forward. Check out the fresh blood in the shop!

Thanks to Sotheby's and Saks 5th Ave from me!

Oh, I totally forgot to tell you...
Weeks ago I was contacted by the wonderful Amy K. of Sotheby's here in NYC. We had met at a craft show I participated in here in NY, and she contacted me because she was curating a benefit. The wonderful benefit was for an organization called City At Peace. Have a look at this amazing city youth development through the arts happening in our beautiful New York.
I donated a lovely necklace, with a vintage verdigris patinated leaf stamping and chandelier crystal dangling below. I will have a pic soon, I hope it raised some nice money for this amazing organization.

On another note, I will be at Renegade BK with the Better Than Jam Co-Op, and Renegade Los Angeles with my girl Miniature Rhino and new friend Monkeys Always Look.
Dooooope! I have never been to LA, but I am soooo excited. I have fam all over that city, finally I can hang Cali style with them :0)

Just wanted to share something I see more and more as I drive on the FDR. It's so strange, how you can pass something by all your life, but never really see it. Seeing and looking are such different things, my artists out there will agree. On Roosevelt Island there is an abandoned structure decaying. In a city of constant stimulation, over development and motion, this structure is just there, untouched, unshaken. I researched and found that it's an abandoned smallpox hospital built in 1854 when Roosevelt Island was still Blackwell's Island. It has a name- "Renwick Hospital".
I want to go peek around. I want to know what keeps it decaying and alive there, untouched. I found that it is built in gothic revival style and blah blah blah, but I want to know more than that. What ghosts are trapped in the sliced stone walls...hmmm...
