Linda Zacks' work is self-described as "part poetry, part paint, part zip and zoom." Once the Design Director at VH1, this local artist now works solo, creating mixed media work for big-name clients like Sony, Newport Beach Film Festival and INQ Mobile, just to name a few. Her work is bold and beautiful, and manages to look both haphazard and deliberate at the same time. Last year she was featured in Photoshop User Magazine where she confessed her love for scanning as many objects as she can get her hands on (including ink-soaked paper towels, rusty jar lids and her own dog), which she then throws into Photoshop, which is used as "a kind of virtual glue stick." I recently had a chat with Linda, a Brooklyn rez who loves working with found materials and takes her pooch to Park Slope's favorite pet hospital, Animal Kind.
Who says Park Slope lacks fanciness and style?
Well, usually me.
If you're a fancy hat-loving person, you'll be happy to hear that San Francisco-based hat company, Goorin Brothers, is coming to our fair neighborhood this Fall!
Park Slope rez Eric Molinsky does these kickass iPhone subway sketches, and was featured in the NYT last weekend. Cool!
If you see any sketches of a scowling bitch holding an iPad standing on the Q train (CAUSE YOU NEVER EVER EVER get a motherfuckin seat on the Q), its probs me.
Okay, okay. Am I the only one who finds Andy Warhol totally creepy? The high voice, the fact that he looked like a cross between Skeletor and the guy from Tales From the Crypt?
I get that his contributions to art were important (viva la soup can!), but goddamn! Creepy!
Regardless of my opinions, the Brooklyn Museum has a show on him running from now until September, showing 50 of his works from the last decade of his life. It's called "Andy Warhol: The Last Decade."
Who's gone? Who's going?
