Hey Folks

The Mark bar had an artist drop out, so I’ve been asked to hang a last minute art show. And to celebrate the Holidays we’re gonna having the First Annual Gift-A-Ganza Holiday Fair Featuring Arts, Crafts and Gifts made by the regulars of the Bar and the GSpot,  including Mark Richards, Francis Christie, Carri Skoczek, Lisa Roman and Lindsey McCosh. Expect t-shirts, sock monkeys, jewelry, coffee mugs, and affordable art! I’ll be showing a mix of old and new works from my Roadwork Ahead series and my Great Vintage Race Car series.

The show will be up for the next month.

Please Join us this Sunday from noon-8 pm. There is a $3 all day Happy Hour and a Free Bagel Brunch. Hope to see you there and Happy Holidays!

Check it out!

New York Shitty Photo Du Jour: Live From McCarren Park

Today, despite the bracing weather, yours truly went for a sojourn around points north Brooklyn. The purpose of these peregrinations was two-fold:

  1. Simply to get out of the house
  2. To fulfill a request from a reader

The latter required I go to the park called McCarren. Anyhoo, after I did what I needed to do I happened across the above fellow (?). He was feverishly engaged in collecting material for (what I presume to be) his “mancave”. As you can see this includes a used bit of (what I hope to be) facial tissue, some leaves and a stick he sported like a staff. All in all, it was very entertaining. So much so I had to film him in action. Enjoy!

Hi, Heather!

 …I’m an artist who made Brooklyn Makes and The Newtown Creek Armada and I believe we’ve met around the neighborhood.
 
I wanted to invite you to come by the new space I founded with Mary Jeys and Laura Chipley.  Dobbin Project Space is a creative work and event space for artists, curators and programmers producing socially-engaged art and media. We’re having an event this Saturday, a Holiday Party Shoppe, with vendor fair and bake sale featuring Oslo coffee.  Here is a link to our FB invite:

Additionally, the other art & design studios in the unique complex we are in (Dobbin Mews) will be having a holiday sale as well.  (https://www.facebook.com/events/527821397230847/)
 
Hope to see you there!  Happy holidays!  Also please spread the word to anyone you think might be interested in supporting local vendors and checking out this unique space.
Done!
