New York Ish

Summer school is over!! Yaaay!!! I am still in Los Angeles having fun. At first, I was ready to go back to N.Y., but L.A. has picked itself up again...and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Although, I am looking forward to going back to N.Y.

Speaking of the fabulous N.Y., The School of Visual Arts (SVA) is having an exhibition titled, "Everything I Do Always Comes Back To Me" ---great theme huh?

It will showcase paintings, sculpture, photography, digital art, cartooning and 3-D digital design until August 22. So basically there is something for everyone and I'm sure it's a great source of inspiration. All of the pieces are by SVA faculty and alumni regarding the "conflict, compassion and the Buddhist ethic." It is curated by designer Milton Glaser. Check the link for more info. Here are a few more of the pieces showcased:

Something else that is new and happening in NY is the Launch of Haute Fashion Nigeria Magazine. There will be a launch party for this premiere magazine for Nigerian fashion, which I believe is brilliant and I am very excited to see what fabulous fashion Nigeria has in store for the U.S.
