After visiting Preet's studio, Tara suggested that we walk along Broadway to the Myrtle Avenue J train stop. Within an area of about two blocks, I saw more memorial walls than I've seen anywhere else, except perhaps certain blocks in the Bronx. 'so sad.

Maya Hayuk @ Cinders Gallery
I almost never get over to Cinders Gallery, even though it's one of the coolest spaces around. I did get there yesterday, though, and I'm glad that I did. Maya Hayuk's exhibit is a real treat. Her elaborate designs remind me of Phil Frost's work.

South Philly Graffiti
Isaac noticed this wall (almost hidden from view) as we headed over to check out "Cut Copy" @ T&P Fine Art on South 9th Street. Although I've seen great sticker art in Philly and wonderful murals in North Philly, I seldom see old school graffiti. What a treat!

'so glad I made my way to this exhibit at the Jersey City Museum. I was awed by Ben Jones's stunning aesthetic -- a fusion of the spiritual and political -- that breaks all boundaries. 'loved, too, the video about him. How could I have not known about him and his work?
