In this week’s Gazette I covered:
One month old pickling company Brooklyn Brine. They make a variety of pickles from heirloom cucumbers and jalapenos to scapes and wax beans. Amazing. Read it here.
A show titled The Convent at St. Cecilia’s church in Greenpoint organized by Eyelevel BQE. Creepy and haunting with an amazing dance performance. Read [...]
Greenpoint Food Market launches Sept 12th. Spread the word. PLEASE.
I made the flyer all by myself, I am very proud of it. Logo was made by the one and only Carolin Wood.
Today’s special on Beautiful Decay: Asuka Ohsawa
Asuka Ohsawa masterfully uses gouache on paper to create a world rife with dichotomous flair. Long Japanese scroll paintings depict cute anthropomorphic animals frolicking the town in seeming innocence and naivete but upon closer inspection there is a child ready to detonate a bomb and a crowd ready to [...]

I got a tattoo by Duke Riley last week. A few days after his navy ship battle at Queens Museum I met him at his parlor East River Tattoo in Greenpoint and for the next 3 hours I cringed in pain, electrifying surges of razor sharp stabs incising my foot over and over. And Duke [...]
Last Friday I hosted an art show and asked 3 female artists working in completely different styles and mediums to come together and flaunt their goods in my vacant apartment. I titled it “Clash” because that’s exactly what would happen were they to meet each other. But, actually installing them together, each work weaved into [...]
Last Saturday Plates and Records planned a super supperclub feast hosted by Brooklyn Fireproof Cafe and Bar in Bushwick. I was so stressed out about it, Andrzej and I cooked in silence most of the day and the air was stifling with anxiety and fear for the worst.
BUT, oddly enough the South African themed dinner [...]
- My three current obsessions are rolled into one in this upcoming event. Hapa Kitchen, a supper club, Finger on the Pulse, DJs pumping the best electro dance beats who also happen to be bros, and Mean Red Productions, party promoters announcing the best shows and throw downs around town are all coming together for [...]
