I went to the Metropolitan Museum a couple weeks ago, finally getting around to posting about it… On the rooftop, there is this awesome installation right now entitled “Cloud City” by Thomás Saraceno. It was such a sunny summer day, this looked even more awesome in a clear blue sky.

You can see the city view from the rooftop, too. Oh, and you can get a cocktail, too! :)

Renegade Craft Fair 2012

This weekend was the Renegade Craft Fair weekend! This year, it was held at the East River State Park, aka the Williamsburg Waterfront. (That’s why we were waiting for the ferry!) The view was awesome, so were all the booths! It’s really great to see all the handmade artists and their amazing work being available right in front of you. I couldn’t take pictures of all the work I liked, but here are some to share…

Picture above is from Sel & Vinaigre booth. They had a lot of cool posters/prints, caught my eye.

Picture below is from Miniature Rhino. Their stuff always makes me smile :)

These two photos below are from Homako. I’ve purchased her cute necklace before and so seeing all of her great work in person made me really happy. They are all so cute and very unique.

OK, that’s all I have, but I liked many many more stuff and of course enjoyed shopping! I guess they’ll have a holiday fair in Brooklyn this year (finally!) — can’t wait!

Found Art in South Williamsburg

When we went to Williamsburg, we walked all the way from south Williamsburg to the north area on Kent Avenue and I found lots of cool graffiti art. This house was covered by art, caught my eye. There were bunch more, but I couldn’t take photos… Saving it for next time!
