Sketch on the Subways

Usually the sketchiness I see on the NYC subways has more to do with undiagnosed mental disorders than it does art. But, part time radio producer and part time techy doodler Eric Molinsky draws stealth portraits of the MTA's less sketchy riders using only his index finger and an app on his iPhone.

The results are a very charming cross section of the train riders straphangers and hopstoppers see everyday. Molinsky captures the mood of the morning commute and the amazing education in humanity (culture, fashion, emotion, oddity, etc.) that is the New York City Subway System. Beyond the great idea to document the daily crowd, Molinsky's sketching skills on the quick are quite impressive.

To see more about his technique, check out the video piece the New York Times ran on Molinsky earlier this week.

You Talkin' All That Gangsta S*@#.

My friends have been getting their iPhones jacked left and right. So, I was looking for a cover that would make my gadget look a little less flashy, maybe fake cracks? Maybe faux duct tape? But, I stumbled upon the complete opposite and I'm in nerdy, white girl, wannabe badass love.

I'm gonna dress my iPhone up in bullets, paper, bling, and bitches...and...a six pack!

Just to be clear, I do not think these skins from iStyles will help keep my iPhone safe, but it will look tough, and make me laugh every time I Shazam a song. In Jersey we go hard. We go hard.

I can't believe I missed this. Sneaker Con (convention for all of you not coolies) 2009 took place this past Sunday and I would have given away an iPhone AND a pair of Keds to be there (watch the vid). I love sneakers. I only own three pairs for treadmill purposes, but the culture fascinates me. Watch this video from New York Magazine and see who's giving Carrie Bradshaw a hip-hop run for her Minolos:



An extra apartment? That's a lot of footwear. Maybe he's Imelda Marcos's cousin twice removed. And, where in the world is Lauryn Hill? I hear her back there. I want her back here! Just saying.
