When Comme des Garçons launched the fragrance GIRL as a collaboration with Pharrell Williams in 2014, I'd never heard of KAWS, the bottle's designer. Some kind of street artist, apparently? Cut to early 2021...I definitely have more KAWS knowledge today, and CdG GIRL is featured in the retrospective exhibition KAWS: WHAT PARTY at the Brooklyn Museum, along with many other KAWS collabs. Order your tickets and go see! (...and swipe to view my own bottle of GIRL up close!)
Newly arrived face mask from Anna Sui. Staying safe in style! 🌸🖤🎀🖤🌸
Local Boy Makes Good: the artist and Jersey City native KAWS, born Brian Donnelly, is the subject of a retrospective exhibition opening this Friday (2/26) at the Brooklyn Museum. It was curated by Eugenie Tsai and covers KAWS's career from the 1990s to 2021, from his early graffiti sketches and designs (like this one, which apparently ended up in JC's Newport neighborhood) to brand-new paintings, large-scale sculptures, and an augmented reality app. He's come a long way since hopping the PATH turnstiles at Journal Square. 😉 Go see it! ! ✖️✖️
In honor of Edward Gorey's birthday...some of his sketches of the mysterious elixir known only as Q.R.V.
Another wintry visit to the BKM. Detail of John Biggers (American, 1924-2001), Web of Life, 1958. Tempera on wood. Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Museum Fund for African American Art and Florence B. and Carl L. Selden Fund, 2011.50.
Rounding off (hah) the weekend with a final portion of this very picturesque focaccia Barese from @breadandsaltbakery. (It tasted as good as it looks.) 🔥
