ROSSON CROW: BOWERY BOYS
Rosson Crow's exhibit "Bowery Boys” featured her talented nostalgic snapshots of the streets of lower Manhattan. The beautifully rendered works featured periods from the 1800′s to the current landscape depicting the gritty urban facades of the “Big Apple”. Fully utilizing the grand space that Deitch Projects is renowned for, Rosson’s ginormous environmental pieces transported the audience to a dreamy realm that only “Ro-Crow’s” imagination could. The house was packed from the opening moments as many out-of-towners were drawn to see what Deitch and Rosson could produce. Via: (ArrestedMotion.com)

People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy... and I keep it in a jar on my desk.

Ring doughnuts are formed by joining the ends of a long, skinny piece of dough into a ring or by using a doughnut cutter, which simultaneously cuts the outside and inside shape, leaving a doughnut-shaped piece of dough and a doughnut hole from dough removed from the center. This smaller piece of dough can be cooked or re-added to the batch to make more doughnuts. A disk-shaped doughnut can also be stretched and pinched into a torus until the center breaks to form a hole. Alternatively, a doughnut depositor can be used to place a circle of liquid dough (batter) directly into the fryer.
Doughnuts can be made from a yeast-based dough for raised doughnuts or a special type of cake batter. Yeast-raised doughnuts contain about 25% oil by weight, whereas cake doughnuts' oil content is around 20%, but they have extra fat included in the batter before frying. Cake doughnuts are fried for about 90 seconds at approximately 190 °C to 198 °C, turning once. Yeast -raised doughnuts absorb more oil because they take longer to fry, about 150 seconds, at 182 °C to 190 °C. Cake doughnuts typically weigh between 24 g and 28 g, whereas yeast-raised doughnuts average 38 g and are generally larger when finished.

Milton Glaser attended the High School of Music and Art in New York from 1943 until 1946 before going on to art school at Cooper Union from 1948 to 1951. Then Milton Glaser was a Fulbright Scholar studying under Giorgio Morandi at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna in 1952/53. With Seymour Chwast, Reynold Ruffins, and Edward Sorel, Milton Glaser founded Push Pin Studios in New York in 1954. "Push Pin Graphic Magazine", which expounded the graphic style and the more liberated Push Pin Studio design philosophy was also launched in 1954. As a graphic artist, Milton Glaser drew both on contemporary culture and historic period styles for inspiration; his playful style is lively and witty, enhanced by psychedelic colors. Unlike the stringent formalism of the Swiss school, the Push Pin style tends to eccentricity and eclecticism. Milton Glaser designed numerous posters, including the famous Bob Dylan poster for CBS Records (1966) and the advertizing poster for the Olivetti "Valentine" typewriter (1970). From 1968 Milton Glaser co-edited "New York Magazine with Clay Felker, which would be the model for so many later city magazines. When the Push Pin Studios were disbanded, Milton Glaser established a graphic design studio of his own in Manhattan in 1974: Milton Glaser, Inc. Glaser continued to work as a commercial artist for the print media, designing the logos and the entire corporate look for several firms. Milton Glaser also worked as an interior decorator. For the French illustrated magazine "Paris Match", Milton Glaser created a new layout (1974) and also revamped "The Village Voice", "Le Jardin des Modes", "L'Express", and "Esquire". In 1973 Milton Glaser created the "I love New York" slogan with the word "love" replaced by a red heart for a tourism campaign launched by New York City. This graphic idea was copied again and again all over the world in innumerable variations. In 1984 Milton Glaser designed the Sarajevo Winter Olympics poster. It was Milton Glaser who designed the top-floor World Trade Center restaurant (1976). In 1983 Milton Glaser joined Walter Bernard in founding WBMG, a company specializing in magazine and newspaper design; clients included "La Vanguardia" in Barcelona, "L'Expresso" in Rome, "The Washington Post", "Money", and "Business Tokyo". Milton Glaser's work has been exhibited at one-man shows in museums worldwide, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Jack Davis: Drawing American Pop Culture is a gigantic, unparalleled career-spanning retrospective, between whose hard covers resides the greatest collection — in terms of both quantity and quality — of Jack Davis’ work ever assembled! It includes work from every stage of his long and varied career, such as: excerpts of satirical drawings from his college humor ’zine, The Bull Sheet; examples of his comics work from EC, MAD, Humbug, Trump, and obscure work he did for other companies in the 1950s such as Dell; movie posters including It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, The Bad News Bears, Woody Allen’s Bananas, The Party, and others; LP jacket art for such musicians and bands as Hans Conreid and the Creature Orchestra’s Monster Rally, Spike Jones and Ben Cooler; cartoons and illustrations from Playboy, Sports Illustrated, Time, TV Guide, Esquire, and many others; unpublished illustrations and drawings Davis did as self-promotional pieces, proposed comic strips that never sold (such as his Civil War epic “Beaureagard”), finished drawings for unrealized magazine projects — and even illustrations unearthed in the Davis archives that the artist himself can’t identify!

I walked outside this morning...and I felt a little toasty. But, I still had my jacket on. After such a brutal winter...all I can think about is wearing less and seeing less. Bring us Spring, now. !

"In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way. I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful."
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee--
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love--
I and my Annabel Lee--
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me--
Yes!--that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:
And so, all the night-tide, I lay down by the side
Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea--
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we--
Of many far wiser than we--
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:
-POE
