Steve depicts a young man the artist met on the street; a rather cool dude, if I may add.

Becky
Mermaid, by Liz Craft. Bronze, steel, paint.
She was part of the ”Mirror Cells” exhibition at the Whitney. When the exhibition ended on August 21st Becky decided to linger awhile. She loved the attention so much she couldn’t bear the thought of parting from one of Manhattan’s most creatively designed terraces.

Built in 2009 around The High Line, the hotel offers unobstructed views of the City, Hudson river, people visiting restrooms and, scandalously, hot amorous couples showing off through the floor-to-ceiling windows in their rooms, turning unsuspecting passersby into unintended peeping toms.

Through the ceiling
Attending a briefing at the UN Trusteeship Council Chamber is a remarkable event but same could be said about the chamber itself, dressed floor-to-ceiling in carefully restored elements true to the original designs of Danish architect and designer Finn Juhl.
I think I would be forgiven for getting under the spell of these colourful, beautiful yet practical, retro-futuristic ceiling fixtures for a moment, before going back to work?

The dog, the cockerel and I
The dog, the cockerel and I are eyeing each other at the window of a hair salon in Brooklyn Heights.
And a few steps further, look Who was waiting on the porch steps of a townhouse! I mean, what are the odds? Dear fellow Whovian, thank you for this little pleasure. Rest assured that the Doctor is enjoying a cup of cocoa in good company.
