Brooklyn-based photographer CM’s interest in fishnet is being explored in a new series of nudes. The sexy series pairs the delicate netting of a fisherman’s cast net with a curvy female form in water. It begs the question: just how did fishnet evolve from a tool of necessity into a tool of seduction? Read more

I’m a fan of the mixed media paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Carrie Moyer: they range from abstract composition to more topical and symbol driven pieces. Read more

I’ve seen all sorts of tattoos on the streets of Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, but this is a first. Hello Kitty meets Darth Vader and, err, Style Wars will never be the same again.

We love the sound of Brooklyn-based female electronic/indie-pop trio, My M.O, whose first single, Bonfire Man (above), is taken off their sophomore EP, Bonfire, which is set for digital retail release in early June.

Go to the intersection of Henry Street and Sackett Street in Brooklyn’s Carroll Gardens, walk into the little turquoise-colored shop on the corner, and step back in time about 90 years. Welcome to The Farmacy, home of old-time fountain sodas, ice cream sundaes, homemade baked goods, and of course, Brooklyn’s famous ‘egg creams‘ (which contain neither eggs nor cream). Read more

Having lived in Brooklyn for nearly five years now, I’ve seen some truly bizarre body art. But this one really is the pits.

If you have an affinity for all things pickled — and you’re not alone — then Brooklyn Brine is an absolute must-have. Based out of Brooklyn, this budding company owned by vegetarian 20-somethings enthusiastically leapt onto the independent food scene just over a year ago to heaps of rave reviews. Read more

Who said hipster tattoos had to be ironic? When you’re sporting a Debbie Harry or a Edie Sedgwick portrait on your arm or leg, you’re practically screaming out your allegiances to the rest of the world — or Brooklyn’s Bedford Avenue, whichever is deemed more important. I’m just surprised a Webster tattoo didn’t get a gig in this awesome collection compiled by our friends at Flavorpill. But I guess he’s just way too 1980s. Read more

Fashion photographer, Joanna Totolici, has recently started a side project, Toto Photo, focusing on dog portraits, and she took some adorable photos of our Affenpinscher, Selma Lou. Selma can be a bit shy with strangers, but she proved to be a natural for the camera and Joanna was very patient and had great timing. Thankfully, Joanna favors the mischievous pups, because ‘they make for the best images’. Read more

I’m interested in the ways in which many textile artists these days, perhaps as a reaction to industry, focus on the process of creation rather than the utility of the resulting creations. Brooklyn-based Emily Barletta discharges emotional and physical pain through the meditative processes of crochet and embroidery. Though Barletta states that her pieces are unplanned and dictated by the properties of each new set of materials, her work consistently references biological forms — parasites, cellular structures, internal organs, amorphous and sea creatures.

The Photobooth app on Macs has provided hours of inane tooling around for most people and resulted in countless stretched and distorted images that only their makers find entertaining, but Brooklyn artist Mark Pernice has translated a wonky webcam image of himself into a terrifying 3D mask. Reminds me of Aphex Twin. Read more

The Brooklyn Brothers Gallery opened yesterday with an original exhibition of more than 40 artworks by New York-based art group TrustoCorp — who are ‘dedicated to highlighting the hypocrisy and hilarity of human behavior through sarcasm and satire’. This is the first exhibit for The Brooklyn Brothers Gallery, and marks the opening of their permanent gallery exhibit space. The TrustoCorp exhibit will run through May 2, and is available for viewing by appointment.
I just can’t get enough of British illustrator Stuart Kolakovic’s quilt-like, narrrative compositions, which abound with folksy Eastern European themes, figures and type.
Some people consider comic books a form of art. Mike Esparza clearly did all of them proud with his work on Picasso Superheroes, which depict them in the form of Picasso’s world-renowned artistic style. In other words, incoherent combinations of awesomeness. Read more

I’m enjoying the writing on the recently launched The Epi-Cure blog, which discusses the ‘latest scientific studies on health and nutrition’, and features interviews with ‘expert scientists, dieticians, and nutritionists’. The site’s founder and editor, Michelle Grey, also runs tasty, healthy recipes from New York chef Benjamin Towill, including today’s installment: Stuffed Zucchini Flowers [above]. Hmmm hmm. Read more
I caught Austin band Watch Out For Rockets playing the other week at the Beauty Bar, a small smoky den on a bustling hipster strip. Although they hit the stage a few hours late, they still cranked out an awesome set of guitar-based power pop, though they left out my favorite track, Urgent Serpent Merchant (below).
