One Man’s Obsessive Mission to Draw Every Building in New York

Hancock began his epic effort in April of 2010 along with a personal blog where he posted many of the finished works. More than 500 of the buildings in New York that he’s drawn so far were just published in the very appropriately titled book: All the Buildings in New York: That I’ve Drawn So Far (Universe).

Art in Berlin

See you this Fall, Berlin. 

What a neat job! Oh, to be an illustrator. Here, Jessica Hische, chats about the letters in B-E-R-L-I-N in particular.

Contemporary Paintings + New Orleans + Ballet = Artwork You Should See at Mallory Page

Cut&Paste

What an exciting event. 3 rounds. Designers from across the globe. All competing for the championship title.

One theme: “Break That Funk” —> How would you inspire someone experiencing creative blockage?

Final stop on the global tour: Lower East Side at the Angel Orensanz Foundation.

Picture empty PBR cans, hundreds of designers, creative types, live work showcased on 6 screens in what looks and feels like an old abandoned (yet lovely) church, a photo booth, and nothing but great energy to inspire all. Memorable for sure.

Complexions Contemporary Ballet is at The Joyce until November 25th! Hope you get a chance to see one of my favorite dance companies perform “On Holiday”, “Pretty Gritty Suite”, or their new powerful piece, “The Curve”.  Pictured above (from left to right): Jae Man Joo, Dwight Rhoden, Desmond Richardson.  From a dancer’s chat last week: “Face. Focus. Feeling. You need to be infected…” - Desmond Richardson on how he wants his dancers to illuminate & spread their movement, soul, and connection in rehearsal.

Greenpoint, Brooklyn. One of my favorite good ol’ neighborhoods in BK. Just a little celebratory jump for… life!

Andy Warhol stopped me yesterday as I was running to meet a friend for oysters & sauvignon blanc. He didn’t say much, but I think he would’ve said, “Hey Stacy, don’t forget to take in everything around you & smile.” And, in return, I would’ve said, “You’re the bee’s knees. Thanks Andy.” Most certainly, that’s how it would’ve occurred.
