I mentioned this exhibition before, the Needle Felting Extravaganza — it is ending tomorrow… if you are in NYC, you still have time to stop by and see some amazing needle felting work, but for you who don’t live here, here are some photos I took from the opening reception night… Each work was so original and very creative, and miraculous attention to details, I was amazed! Hope you enjoy!

I’m starting off with Hine Mizushima‘s “The Unnatural History Museum”…

111 Front Street Galleries Sign

Posted on June 2, 2010 by Hijiri

I mentioned about 1st Thursdays DUMBO Gallery walk before, the June one is tomorrow — I think I will stop by again :)

111 Front Street Galleries have so many galleries in the building — you couldn’t help but notice the building itself — bright neon pink entrance with big “GALLERIES” sign on the wall through the glass door. (the picture doesn’t show the pink, it was at night and the lighting made it look like red… but it is really a neon pink!) So awesome.

and on the way back, the big “EXIT” sign tells you where to go :)

Love the boldness!

Off to a letterpress studio… have a great day :)

Don’t Become the Things You Hate

Posted on September 21, 2009September 20, 2009 by Hijiri

Good morning. It’s Monday again. I hope you had a nice weekend… wasn’t it beautiful? NY was :)

On Saturday, I got to go to an interesting exhibition (literary art exhibit) called Don’t Become the Things You Hate presented by Seasick Mama. Each art was done in only six words and it was each artists’ expression of “how they survive” during the recession.

The Stand Alone Gallery is a mobile gallery and so it was on the street of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, it was pretty cool. And the exhibition was all black and white, only few words, it was standing out on the busy street of Williamsburg for sure. When I went there, they were in the middle of setting things up, but I at least got the art pictures… Enjoy!
