The amazing Comic Book Convention 2012 hit town this past month, and yours truly stopped by to join all of the pop culture fun!

New York Auto Show 2012!

The super sexy Duramax 6.6l v8 turbo diesel engine and I.

Spring has arrived, and with it comes tons of exciting events. One of which is the New York Auto Show! It seemed like it was just yesterday that I found myself drooling over the beauties showcased at the Jacob Javits Center for the first time. After my first encounter with the event, a second one was a must! When I heard the 2012 NYAS was around the corner, I HAD TO attend! It seems as if the event gets bigger and better every year, this year truly surpassing the last! A $15 ticket will get you into the world of automotive ingenuity, at its finest!

Within the last two years, I have become quite the auto-world enthusiast. From vintage beauties to striking exotics, every model&make makes my heart swoon! You don't have to be an auto junkie to find the NYAS amazing, everyone of all ages and interests will find this showcase to be a must see!

Street Art & Sex Hook Up at the MOS!

One of my favorite places has put together three of my favorite things, all under one roof: sex, internet, and street art! Yes, the Museum of Sex does it again, showcasing two spanking new exhibitions:  Universe of Desire and F*CK ART. The installations opened to the public the night of February 8th, and yours truly got to attend the opening reception! I was absolutely thrilled to get a first look at the new exhibitions, along with documenting a sneak peek for my readers! 

Universe of Desire exposes the biggest and dirtiest side of the cyber world. Shedding light upon the sex crazed, fetish Utopia called the Internet and embracing all it beholds. The exhibition reflects how we share our innermost thoughts, fantasies, and desires via electronic screens throughout the world.

F*CK ART is definitely the man of the hour at the MOS. Featuring 20 select artists, street art takes over the third floor, producing a multicolored manifestation of nitty gritty, lusty busty, nothing held back SEX. Not for the faint of heart, F*CK ART exudes the in-your-face attitude the world of graffiti is known for. Mix a bit of lust into that, and you got yourself a party!

Participating artists include AIKO. Andrew H. Shirley, B-rad Izzy, Cassius Fouler. DICKCHICKEN. DROID, GEN 2, OZE 108 of 907, El Celso, Jeremy Novy, JMR, LUSH, Miss Van, MODE 2, Patch Whisky, ROSTARR, RTTP: Nathan Vincent & Bryan Raughton, Tony Bones, William Thomas Porter, WOLFTITS, and Wonderpuss Octopus.

I've been a M.O.S fan and avid visiter for some time now, and I've always fallen in lust with their showcases. But I must admit, these two new exhibitions are the creme of the crop! In my opinion, they're the most interactive installations yet, as well as the most provocative! Definitely a must see!

Check out a sneak peek of these new exhibitions at the Museum of Sex!

Action Bronson @ Southpaw!

Last month, New York waved goodbye to one of it's most cherished venues, Southpaw. Amidst the fellow New Yorkers, rocking out onstage was Queens based rapper Action Bronson along with a posse of performers: Smoke DZA, The Kid Daytona, Harry Fraud, Party Supplies, Meyhem Lauren, Mr. M-fin' eXquire, Das Racist, Despot, El-P and many more... the posse ran deep! Everyone did amazingly putting on a phenomenal show, saluting the classic hip-hop institution, and bidding a bittersweet farewell. Making all of New York's hip-hop lovers proud!

As I've mentioned before, I've been very backed up on updates due to my recent absence. My poor Canon has been jam packed with tons of great content from last month, with no one to appreciate it! So when I finally got the time to sit down and look at all of it, I was so thrilled to share it all with my readers! This event being one of my February highlights, I had an absolute blast! 

Check out some of the shots I captured that night!

Reebok x Reed Space: "Classic Sessions NYC"

The love for art and music, go hand in hand. So when one finds themselves amidst both wonders, one is guaranteed greatness. Appreciating both crafts, Reebok and Reedspace have teamed up and introduced the new "Classic Sessions NYC" at 145 Orchard in the LES. For the next few months, musicians and visual artists will pair up and take over the pop-up venue open to the public. Kicking off the brilliant series was the talented Queens MC T.Shirt on the music side, and the dynamic duo UR New York on the art side. Inspired by each other's gifts, UR New York presented a fantastic installation influenced by one of T.Shirt's tracks off his album "The Fuck". T.Shirt gave music lovers a superb show by performing 4 songs off his album, while beautiful artistry flowed throughout the walls. 

Music embracing art, art embracing music. 

Yours truly attended the event and captured the action... Check it out!

NYC Agenda Trade Show!

The Agenda Trade Show is where today's streetwear and sportswear unite, showcasing the latest styles and catering to the masses of buyers, distributers, and press. The trade show welcomes brands of all sizes, from the spanking newbies taking their baby steps, to the well-known and well-established empires. Embracing not just fashion but  art, culture, style, and music as well. A melting pot of today's streetwear, Agenda Show is essential to those in the streetwear scene.

Yours truly had the pleasure of attending NYC Agenda which is only open to buyers, distributers, and press. I had an insightfully good time soaking in all of the upcoming designs that will soon blanket the streets! Having a  few friends in the biz, plus past streetwear modeling gigs, I have become quite familiar with the scene... so off to Agenda I went, for a refreshing update on what's new! Managed to take a few pics here and there, although many booths were prohibiting picture-taking. Check out some of my finds!

New York's Comic Con 2011!

At last...!!! The time had come for all of NYC's imaginative aficionados to rejoice in comic book euphoria. Yes, the 2011 New York Comic Convention hit the Jacob Javits Center from October 13th-16th 2011. Comic book enthusiasts of all ages, backgrounds, and throughout all of the five boroughs attended the phenomenal convention. Some transformed into their favorite childhood characters, comic and video game characters, role models,  and even favorite toys!



If you've followed my blog long enough, you would know about my long time devotion to Archie Comics, and the Archie fanatic in me just cannot miss a single NYCC... so I of course HAD TO attend! Apart from the Archie indulgence, I also love to engaging in the quirky comic book fun! Not just comic books fill the JJC, but also cosplay, movies, video games, anime, and all things that scream pop culture! Expressive, inspirational, and brilliant... the NYCC is an annual event that any New Yorker, no matter the interests, will find simply incredible fun!

Instagram 8x8 Gallery Exhibition

If you've followed my blog long enough, you would know I am an avid Instagram user. And every Tuesday, I present you Hipsta-Insta Tuesdays, showcasing images of my week through both Hipstamatic and Instagram. I've been using Instagram for exactly a year now, way before it got hella trendy! But I am glad it got popular because it is a fantastic photo application which has managed to built up an incredible following. Boasting more than 8million users, the app has grown increasingly in a very short time, and even had Facebook offer $2billion for ownership of the app. Thankfully, Facebook's offer was turned down.


Amongst todays many social networks, Instagram has to be one of my favorites. The Instagram community gives off a very welcoming and inspirational vibe. Users share bits and pieces of their everyday lives, hashtag, capture beauty in the most simple things, or engage in themed photography. All through Instagram's fun filter effects. Users can comment and "like" each others pics, creating a fun IG bond.


With a following of over 8 million users, the Instagram community was bound to bring their IG galleries to life. And so they did via the 8x8 Gallery Exhibition at Mosaic Skate Shop & Gallery in the Bronx. A gathering of 15 IG users showcased their IG photographs, creating a collection of 44 images all beautifully framed throughout the gallery walls. With approx 200 guests, the turnout was fantastic!  Making the very first annual IG gallery an amazing success!


Yours truly SSS was there, documenting all the IG fun and meeting alot of amazing people!

Visiting the Meadowlands State Fair!

The State Fair Meadowlands in Secaucus, New Jersey celebrated their 25th anniversary this summer. I am  a HUGE fair/carnival/feast enthusiast so I made it my mission to visit. Once there, I fell in love with the 1950's feel in the air. The vintage carnival stands, classic magic shows and freakshows, the smell of cotton candy lemonade and funnel cakes, all stole my heart while walking through the vibrant fair. Thrill rides, lights, exhibitions, petting zoos and fantastic fair fun everywhere you looked!!! Sigh, I wish this place was availiable year round!!! Knowing it wasn't going to be around for long, I brought along my handy dandy Canon and snapped away at as much of the fun as I could, so I can share it with you. And hopefully inspire you to visit next year!!

Check out the fantastic time I had at the Meadowlands State Fair!!

4th of July aboard the Sheryll Princess!

Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. Summertime, BBQ's, the outdoors, and of course fireworks are just a few of the things that make the 4th so damn awesome! I've had some awesome 4th of Julys in my 23 years of life, but this years 4th was absolutely FANTASTIC! I wanted this 4th to be like no other that I've had, so I thought "why not hop on a boat??"

I started researching 4th of July cruises. And got bombarded with HUNDREDS of great cruises that give you a nice boat ride around Manhattan and an awesome view of the Macy*s 4th of July fireworks. I found this SUPERB deal on a cruise boat called the "Sheryll Princess". For just $100 pp, the boat takes you on a 6 hour cruise that begins in Brooklyn, floats onto Ellis Island, glides alongside MannyHatty and New Jersey, and finally parks itself in a perfect spot to catch the fireworks show. PLUS had 2 floors, a DJ, and all inclusive food and drinks. AWESOMENESS!

I was thrilled with my 4th of July package, 

and even more thrilled to be on a boat like T-PAIN!!

Showpaper The Community Serviced Too

Showpaper is a free bi weekly print only publication promoting DIY shows in NYC. If you decide to pick up a copy of Showpaper next week, you'll most likely come across a gorgeously customized newspaper box, oozing with unique artistic extravagancy. A project presented by Showcase and curated by Andrew H Shirley, these vibrant boxes will be sprinkled throughout NYC for all to admire. This is the second time Showcase exhibits this form of street art. The first time around, a few of the boxes were actuallly stolen. A box designed by the legendary graffiti artist COST, was not just stolen but also sold on eBay for $4,000. The presentation includes 16 diffrent boxes all customized by artist duos. Pairs included Adam Void & Chris Stain, BAK & VIL, CELSO & SKEWVILLE, CLAW & JESSE, Dennis McNett, Doyle Huge & Mikey 907, GAIA & Heidi Tullmann, HELLBENT w/Alison & Garrison Buxton, Leon Reid IV & POSTERBOY, MINT & SERF, Poneros & SPAM, Sto & Kelie Bowman, SWOON & Noah Sparkes, UFO 907, and a SURE tribute by FAUST.  

Showpaper presented The Community Serviced Too, unveiling the phenomenal designs at 285 Kent ave in Brooklyn before unleashing them into the world. Having the pleasure of being friends with one of the artists (thank you TONS by the way!), I managed to get a sneak peak of the boxes at the exhibition before they're showcased onto the mean streets of NYC. Every design was absolutely fascinating and captivating in its own originality. I cannot wait till NYC gets to marvel at these beauties!!

Interviewing VintageCultureNewYork!

Vintage goodies? Who can resist?! Embracing a classic lifestyle, Vintage Culture NY is an online shopping haven for the vintage aficionado. Created by New Yorkers Zoila Sylvester and beau Zach Darton, the two thrift store enthusiasts share their passion for classic simplicity by bringing us VCNY. The online boutique recently celebrated their establishment with a VCNY launch party at Rouge58 in Brooklyn, New York. On behalf of Hellion Magazine, I had the pleasure of not only attending the event, but also interviewing the creators!  It was a delight getting to know the pleasant couple and their inspirational story. Zoila with her charismatic vibrancy, expressed the couple's devotion to everlasting style. While Zach keen and coherently, explained the influences behind VintaguecultureNY.com.

Picasso and Marie-Thérèse: L’amour fou

"Picasso and Marie-Thérèse: L’amour fou exhibits a secret tender love affair between an illustrious genius artist, and a shy soft-spoken young woman. The curious combination of the two was the perfect concoction for Picasso’s boundlessly visionary mind. Giving birth to some of his most avant-garde pieces. The exhibition is a timeline of love from the 1920s to 1940s...."

Check out my article featured in Hellion Magazine on the current Picasso exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in Chelsea! It was a lovely showing! I have never been a huge Picasso fan but after visiting this exhibition, I saw both him and his work in a whole new light. The show humanizes the womanizer, giving light to the deep adoration he had towards one of his primary inspirations... Marie-Thérèse. 

Definitely a must-see!

Ascension Art Show

If  you've followed my blog, you would know by now how much of a huge supporter I am towards artist Masahiro Ito. A man of many hats and pure, raw imagination. Masahiro has been on a roll, showcasing his work throughout his sole exhibitions this year. Kicking off his wild streak with  Eye of the Wolf, which brought in great success. He then followed with Ascension, which was a bit like a "part deux" of Eye of the Wolf. Masa always has a great following of loyal supporters consisting of fellow gifted artists, musicians, models, bloggers, and the art-appreciative crowd. Ascension showcased Masa's lovely designs, modeled by a few gorgeous ladies... some photographed by Masa himself..!! He's a  jack of all trades, I must say!  Shots from my "Thunderwolf and his She-Wolves" post were a part of the exhibition.
