The Reanimation Library collects old, out of print, and out-of-circulation books specifically for the use of artists and writers looking for odd or quirky materials to assimilate into their art. This is, perhaps, the coolest mission statement for a library I can think of (and a great place for de-accessioned library books to die). …
Another weekend, another library. After sampling delicious food at Smorgasburg with friends (the more friends you bring, the more things you can try), we moseyed on over to the Brooklyn Art Library (103A N. 3rd Street, Williamsburg). The library is an extension of Art House and includes art supplies, vintage books that you can buy, …

This year has already inspired a lot of great music. I decided I would write about my five favorite albums of 2011 (so far). Not that I am by any means an authority on what “great music” constitutes. But if you have a weakness for beautiful lyrics or just simply songs that are so …
I find myself engrossed with tattoos these days - I see it everywhere I go; on the subway, the bus, sidewalks, magazines, television...everywhere - and I sigh. I want one, and I am entranced. Why do they do it? Why tattoo ALL over your body? Is it celebration? Is it art? Is it sacrilege? So many …

I'll admit it, I failed miserably at imparting my enthusiasm for art in my classroom. I truly hated that about myself as a teacher. If only I knew what I know now, I would have read more books about art in the classroom, asked people more questions, and made more time so that my students …

Background I met Caroline Paquita while living in Gainesville, Florida. I wanted to capture the way she learned how to play bass and how it relates to how she learned to create art.
