I saw Ben Stiller’s “Night at The Museum” tonight (Christmas) which takes place at the Museum of Natural History.  I know the reviews of the movie were not that good but I enjoyed the movie. 

While the movie was not actually filmed at the Museum of Natural History - it emulated the interior of the Museum pretty well and all the characters were likable - being the movie was about a Museum in NYC, I felt I had to go at some point just so I could write about the movie here.

I never made it into the Wooster on Spring Street Collective show last weekend (I heard there was a 2 hour wait - I would not have waited that long last Sunday, so I’d don’t think I’d have seen it if I did find the line). 

However, there’s an excellent YouTube Online Video that Pierce Mattie Public Relations blog picked up that really gives you the inside tour to the Wooster on Spring Street Collective show.   I feel like I was there just by watching the video.

“….Event Alert! THE CANDLE BUILDING New York City. A new face on NYLON TV, NYLON editor Jared Flint skips the line at 11 Spring St, the canvas for the Wooster Collective’s street art show. He talks to Sara, one part of the Collective, about how she wrangled together over 40 international artists to tag up the walls of this historically graffiti-splattered building and, a street art aficionado himself, points out his favorite works from the likes of Dark Cloud and Shepherd Fairey.

Last weekend I went over to the ITP Program Winter show at New York University instead.

I got to take my son Adam with me to paint this afternoon; getting into Brooklyn Artists Gym was not so easy today - both entrances were locked - but I managed to get the landlord to buzz us in.

I can’t say my work today worked out as well as I’d liked, but we had fun and I even got my soon to be 14 year old to paint something.

Here’s what I ended up with - a portrait of my son Adam.

Here’s the sketch I did before starting -

 

Now it’s time to rest and take in Christmas.
