We’re holding down our very first Pop-Up shop here in NYC next weekend. The brand also turns 5 on July 29th, so we’re celebrating that too. Some of your favorite pieces from the shop will be available and a TON of new products. Ever chew gum? You might have some this weekend. But it doesn’t quite stop there, we’re going to have the nice folks at Bakestuy provide you with some of the best booze infused snacks you’ll ever try. Henny Cupcakes, Margarita Popsicles, Bourbon Glazed Donut Holes…whooo buddy.

If you’re going to be in NYC that weekend or live within the 5 boroughs, put 2 X’s on your calendar and pop in.

Subway Series: The Dancer

The Dancer. Even if you weren’t feeling her, she was just feeling it. One of my favorite things about the subways in NYC is that sometimes it’s not just the actual entertainers who go in, it’s the onlookers as well. Whatever she was going through that day, the music was just talking to her I guess. And sometimes, you just want to dance. Who cares who’s watching.

Street Art in Bushwick

With the Bushwick Collective Block Party happening this weekend (Click Here for more info on that), it felt like the perfect time to finally drop this. It’s virtually impossible to walk through the streets of Bushwick (Brooklyn, NY.) without bumping into some amazing pieces of artwork spray painted on Rooftops, Walls of Bodegas, Do Not Enter barricades, etc. It’s everywhere!

[Note: One of the best views for hidden pieces, is  on the Manhattan Bound J Train from Broadway Junction and beyond.]

Although it’s usually considered ‘illegal‘ to cover public property with Graffiti, J M Z Walls, a non for profit collective has been actively working to change that and bring art to ALL local pedestrians. The name comes from the trains (The J, M & Z obviously) that run along the path of many of these walls daily. With their help along with many other local organizations such as The Bushwick Collective & Dodworth Street Mural, they have all participated in helping brighten up your daily work commute, or like me, spending your Saturday afternoon wandering the neighborhood.


During my small weekend excursion, I stopped at a certain piece only to be greeted by the actual artist behind it (I promise we didn’t plan it or anything.) Meet the lovely Lexi Bella. She was nice enough to not only introduce herself but do me the honor of posing with her work for a photo. Hey Lexi! [ View More of Here Work Here ]  There was so much to post, I had no choice but to make it a gallery. (Otherwise this would scroll forever! Eitherway, take a moment out of the day to check out some of the work below. My hats off to ALL of the artists. Hope to meet you guys!
