To continue the Wootini Art Tour series, I’ll introduce you to Oliver Jeffers. I’d heard of Jeffers’ books before [How to Catch a Star, The Incredible Book-Eating Boy and many more]– but hadn’t ever been exposed to his art. I am incredibly grateful to Jess for having brought his work to my attention, as I [...]

It’s been ages since I’ve updated IHCS with any sort of news– so I figured I would start by sharing the week of fun I had with Jessica (better known as the gorgeous Team Sweet– remember her from a previous v-blog episode?!!). Jessica, who works at Wootini, set out to embark on an art tour. [...]

Leontine Greenberg has popped up on this site several times (not nearly enough in my opinion ^__^), and she strikes again! Coming up in two weeks, Gallery1988 will be featuring Leontine’s works alongside Lawrence Yang’s. The show, Nature Preserve, will feature many new and original watercolor works from Leontine– and those who have followed my [...]

I realize I haven’t posted in a while– my apologies. My younger brother is graduating in two days and Walter Bishop (my little guy) just got fixed, so yeah life’s been keeping me busy in a wonderful way. But, what better way to get back into the roll of things then by sharing the news [...]

I think I’ve displayed and expressed my massive fangirl-ism for Stella Im Hultberg‘s works since I was introduced to her work. For over a year now, I’ve made it public knowledge that I plan on getting her collaboration with Audrey Kawasaki tattooed on me (I’ve held out because that piece will set off the beginning [...]

If you haven’t noticed, we’re having a giveaway here on the site to win this very figure, so go visit the giveaway [...]

[click to view flickr set if slideshow doesn't work] I realize the show opened May 1st, hence the name, but I’d been warned that there would be a crowd gathered, so I chose to wait it out and visit the gallery at my own leisure. I didn’t think I’d wait until the last minute, but [...]

I mentioned last week that we’ve reached our birthday! For those who have only recently become fans of IHCS, we turned three years old on May 28th. IHCS began as a private blog titled “sakiwrotewhat.” When myspace was still a shiny new networking tool, I discovered how much I loved blogging and sharing every thought [...]

Podgypanda’s winter sale is half-way through and I can’t believe I haven’t informed you of the news. If you’ve hesitated ordering any of his products (although I don’t see why you would), this is the perfect opportunity to not only get his stuff at a discount, but also score an original sketch. Yipppeeee! Head on [...]

Seeing as how today is the last day of the DELUXX FLUXX arcade created by Faile and Bast, I thought I’d share the video and photos we took when we visited earlier this month. The arcade, located in downtown Manhattan is the second installment of its kind. Last year, Faile opened a similar arcade in [...]

Saturday evening, was an exciting night for me. Giant Robot NY was hosting the opening night for Nathan Jurevicius and Andrea Kang’s duo show [Harley & Boss], Lost in the Woods. I met Nathan Jurevicius once during NYCC ’08 and since his owlet’s release, I declared myself a bonafied fan. For those who aren’t familiar [...]

Friday May 21st, was the opening night of Phoneticontrol’s Thought Processor: NYC Series. Eric [known as Phoneticontrol], has been on a mission to get a multitude of artists from different regions to put their own spin on his thought processor figure. I believe the NYC show is the third show of it’s kind, and I’m [...]

Scene: Adventures in Lollipopland from IHCS.me on Vimeo. Yep! You know I’ve been out of it when I share a video of a show’s opening night so late, that it’s no longer up for viewing. I feel quite ashamed to be writing those words, but it doesn’t stop me from sharing anyway, since many out-of-towners [...]

Saturday evening, I stormed out of my home around 7:45pm running extremely late to The Great Outdoors, which I’d posted about last week. The show featured the works of; Royce Bannon, Darkcloud, Michael De Feo, El Celso, LA II, Kenji Nakayama, Neckface, Lady Pink, Matt Siren, Stikman, and Swoon. [The Great Outdoors flickr set] This [...]

During the Buff Monster show (which I’ve realized I’ve yet to post about), I ran into Matt Siren who informed me of an upcoming group show at Woodward Gallery featuring some of his works. My immediate response was, “I’ll be there.” I’ve visited the space before (HUGE!) and am a fan of both the artist [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve gushed about Dr. Sketchy’s, and finally having attended one of their artist tributes, this seems like the perfect time. If you don’t know about Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School, then I’ll redirect you to my original post back in February when I shared about my first experience at the show. [...]

After the jump, you’ll find my very blurry set of photos from this weekend’s Sketch4Sketch stop at ZeroFriends‘ NYC Pop-Up Shop. If you watched my short, yet super fun, interview with Sean from ZeroFriends last Thursday, then you may already be aware that Alex Pardee and Dave Correia are making multiple stops cross country in [...]

Just two months shy after her solo show at Dragatomi, NReason is ready for her second solo show of 2010. Boom!, featuring works of her grenade character taking over the world, will open tomorrow evening at We Are 1976 in Dallas, Texas. I’ve never been to Dallas (only H-Town), but if you happen to be [...]

Catching Up w/ ZeroFriends NYC from IHCS.me on Vimeo. It’s been almost four months since ZeroFriends‘ pop-up shop took over UpperPlayground’s location, and we’re only now finally stopping by to hang out with the good folks who are running the place. What started off as taking a breather from the packed Buff Monster opening, led [...]

For some odd reason, I was under the impression that Shepard Fairey‘s upcoming solo was going to be on the West Coast. Oh, but I’m so glad someone pointed me in the right direction and clarified that Deitch Projects is actually located not more than 20 blocks or so from my home. Yay! MAYDAY, as [...]
