Hey Folks!
We’ve got a few things brewing here at Subtexture HQ that I wanted to tell you all about.Cars and Drivers
Come by my favorite beer store, Brouwerij Lane this Thursday night, and see some of my work that you probably haven’t seen, and try some beer that you’ve probably never tasted. I’m showing an assortment of large works on paper and wood, featuring vintage race cars, American muscle cars, pinups and motorcycle racers. Including some works from Great Vintage series, which you can see here
The reception is on Thursday, February 16th, from 6-8

Now At 39 Meserole Avenue: The Factory Building
Yes gentle readers, it would appear the place formerly known as the Sweater Factory Lofts is not only continuing its brave endeavor to press a transient hotel into service as residential space, but now it has a new address, new name and these will set you back an additional $700.00 plus a month! The newly christened Factory Lofts listing on Street Easy (as seen above) can be perused by clicking here. Please do take a moment to give this a read. Follows is a sample of the ad copy which awaits your delectation:
The lofts at The FACTORY BUILDING are made for unique individuals. Each loft apartment remains different, and there are endless opportunities to divide, reimagine and design your own personal space. Yes, we’ve thrown in new amenities to make sure that you’re living in modern comfort, but how you decide to live is up to you. These are raw, chic spaces ready for you to make your mark.
Another huge perk of The FACTORY BUILDING lofts is the preservation of old windows from when the building was a factory. Come for a viewing on a bright day. Sunlight pours through the windows and adds a wonderful aura to the spaces. We’ve reinsulated and reinstalled all apartment fixtures, so you get old world ambiance with new improvements.
These words struck me as being eerily familiar. After a little research I discovered why:
It is the same exact ad copy used to pitch the Sweater Factory Lofts in 2009! And of course we all know what came of “old world ambiance meets new improvements” that time around…
