Os Gemeos

On Houston Street (at Bowery) in New York City, you can see this great art by Os Gemeos right now as a second mural project on this wall. I passed by there this weekend and so snapped a few… Every detail is so amazing and the colors make me so happy — happy Monday morning, everyone :)

It is worth passing by for sure.

To MJ From Brooklyn

Stopped by Michael Jackson Tribute event at Prospect Park yesterday.

It was filled with love and energy!!!

R.I.P MJ.

((I was so far away from the stage and this video might not show well, but they were all going crazy up there…))

*The event was hosted by Spike Lee with DJ Spinna.

Coney Island

As I mentioned yesterday, I loved Coney Island! I want to go back there again one more time this summer… perhaps get on the roller coaster or see a circus or just hang around on the beach… :)

I found lots of cool signs, hand-lettering, hand-painted signs everywhere, that was really exciting to me.

When you look into the store, you see more types…

and of course, Nathan’s Famous — Love all the menu design with yellow, green and red. Each rectangle shape has different designs, but they all work together nicely.

A hot dog eating contest… (hehe)

We brought our own hot dog. There were too many people to let her go on the ground so she stayed in her favorite bag.

All Diamonds

Found this art on Park Avenue and 52nd Street (I think) in Upper East Side in New York. It caught my eye and I thought it looked like something really gorgeous…

and I was right! This work was entitled “All Diamonds” by James Surls. I only saw this piece because I was crossing town on 52nd street to 3rd Avenue, but apparently, he has several sculpture work on Park Avenue.

New York is a big city and I hardly ever go this side of town, but I’d love to check out more of his work. I think it’s unique and stunning.
