I just couldn’t get enough of New York, so me and the lady headed back this past weekend to hit everything I missed last time. Like the Museum of Natural History! Read More
I really don’t go to NYC as much as I would like to. So when I do make the bus ride, I make sure to pack in as many things as I can handle. When I posted earlier about the opening, I knew there was no way I was missing this one. Read More
As you can see, the crew stopped through NYC this weekend for Kenji Nakayama’s opening at Woodward Gallery. Here are some highlights from my misadventures
When your art is this badass, it usually comes with a certain arrogance. But when it comes to Kenji, he is the most humble, honest, respectful, a little bit shy, and straight up an all around good dude. So you can imagine that his first NYC solo show this past Saturday (May 6th), at Woodward Gallery, was packed with familiar faces and new admirers. Read More
Last night Neon Trees played The Bowery Ballroom in New York City on the eve of their record release. Their second LP “Picture Show” is out today. There are a bunch of jams on the record and one of those is featured above.Neon Trees performed their new song “Lessons In Love”, a song also featured on the new Kaskade record (Neon Trees X Kaskade) to a sold out venue. If you dig the track pick up a copy of the record and catch the band on tour near you.
If you can’t tell by the side ways video I shot of Tommy, I also was tore up by his set! It was another great night in the city! This video doesn’t really do Tommy justice so take a look around online, Spotify, etc and listen to his songs, they are great!
Last week I was lucky enough to catch the opening of “100 Paintings” at Klughaus gallery in Chinatown, NYC. “100 Paintings” was the solo exhibition of illustrated works from Portland, Oregon based artist OBLVN. Klughaus has been putting together some really incredible shows since they recently opened and this one is a must see if your in the area.
Check out Klughaus at 47 Monroe Street, New York, NY.

Kate Moss is everywhere is New York City. You can’t escape her face when wandering SoHo, LES, Midtown, etc. If you have been in the city and have not seen these posters, open your eyes. Supreme killed it picking her to model! I wonder if the price tag was killer?!?! This poster has gotten picked up (or appears to have been) more than the GagaXSupreme ad and I think that has to do with believability. Everyone knows Kate Moss is an iconic super model whose younger years were spent partying with rock stars, doing drugs and being the bad ass of the runway (or so the tabloids say). Gaga on the other hand, well, I think the Supreme demographic understands that Gaga is a pop star and the Supreme campaign was just another look for her in her quest for ubiquity. I don’t wear Supreme, I don’t prefer Gaga over Moss or visa versa. Just seeing all of these posters all over the city and subsequently features on the internet inspired this rant. It is also a good lesson for brands. If you can find an ambassador for your brand whose real life reflects some of the elements of your brand (hence believability) then you are in it to win it.
A big shout out goes to my buddy Clams Rockefeller for blessing my inbox today with these amazing photos of The Seventh Letter collective member, Retna painting the Bowery wall. Myself and the readers of TTHU owe you one.
If you’re not familiar with Clams’ photos, then take some time to peruse the photography on his blog and prepare to see some serious shit.
