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 [...]

I realize I’ve been on a major hiatus. I’ve been sick and my computer simultaneously decided to live its final breath leaving me without a connection to the interwebs. Moving on though, to get back in action I deliver exciting news to broke asses like myself who reside in NYC. New York-Tokyo’s game night will [...]

I just received a newsletter from New York-Tokyo containing news of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid t-shirt collection produced by UNIQLO. I’ve posted about UNIQLO before, they have several design collaborations that I find to be divine and the best part is their affordable prices. The upcoming collection will celebrate (and coincide with) the release [...]

This post is dedicated to some of my Metroid obsessed friends. =D I’ve wanted to work on a quilt for some time now, but I don’t have the time to dedicate to the project. I’ve also never finished my mosaic project that I started 2yrs ago. Maybe I should dedicate an hour a day, if [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Cyllian Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Caine– I’d like to go on the record and say that the cast alone have the makings of an epic film. Add Christopher Nolan to the mix, who’s directing skills from The Dark Knight impressed me, and you can count my $13 in! Also, while [...]

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 [...]

I realize that the information in the video isn’t very helpful regarding openings, but! You can still check out the shows I spoke about in the video– and you get to see Jessica from Team Sweet, along with a guest appearance from Jenna (remember, new BFF!!!). The video was filmed during the 7.5hrs of waiting [...]

Seeing as how I’m Mexican, I figure I’ll share something Mexican related to stay true to my roots. ^__^ Below you’ll find the official trailer for Machete, a film by Robert Rodriguez. What started out as a spoof trailer during Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’ Grindhouse film has been turned into a feature length film [...]

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. [...]

New York-Tokyo have hosted several awesome events since I’ve learned about them, check out the Shin Tanaka Night post to get an idea of their events. Tomorrow, they’ll launch what will probably become a weekly Tuesday night ritual Game Night. With Game Night they hope to create a gaming environment that includes socializing, booze and [...]

For those who aren’t aware of it, on May 29th, I’ll turn 3yrs old! Well, not I, but IHCS will. I wanted to celebrate with a re-vamped look, but sadly I’m still not there financially. In my need for change though, I’ve decided to tweak this WP theme I’ve been eye-ing since who knows how [...]

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 [...]
