Florence + The Machine
While I hate people who post videos all of the time, and this is the second one for today – I just can’t help myself. Florence + The Machine has been my favorite artist to listen to (since discovering her on the Eclipse soundtrack for Twilight) and I’m officially won over by her voice and lyrics. “I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean...

Cinco de Mexico
In honor of Cinco de Mayo (which ends up in a full day of drinking Margheritas for most Americans) I choose to honor five persons originally from Mexico who are noteworthy in the arts industry.

Scott Campbell
It’s no secret that I am an admirer of the tattoo world and the artistic ability involved to do them. Scott Campbell is in no way an exception. His lettering and art is beyond that of a traditional tattoo artist and I am digging his work. And it seems Scott is a hot commodity, he is no longer accepting appointments due to a full schedule but if you are still interested he is taking some on a first come-first serve basis in his Brooklyn studio. I’m... Read More
