My Addiction Gallery Tucson AZ @Art_o_mat #art

I own My Addiction Gallery in Tucson Arizona. Last week we installed our Art-o-mat. It has been very popular! Today I was thrilled to pull the knob and receive my pewter Saltine. What a tasty work of art!

Thanks for being a part of Art-o-mat! It is bringing a lot of happiness to my gallery customers!

To listen to the audio tour in English, please dial 212-901-3310 & press 8.

Manolo Valdés' Regina II bronze at 103rd & Broadway. You can probably call the tour phone number while you look at this picture if it tickles you. The other 15 bronzes are on view at 59th street, 63rd, 72nd, 79th, 96th, 137th, 148th, 157th, & 166th.

That number, again, is 212-901-3310 ex. 8. Operators are standing by to give you a tour.

Pan & Bear drinking fountain

In Morningside Park at 114th street, there's a bronze statue of Pan hiding from a bear with a drinking fountain oddly annexed to the right (not shown). The work is sculpted by Edgar Walter and is named The Alfred Lincoln Seligman Fountain in memory of Mr. Seligman, a banker, who died in a head-on car crash. None of this is written on the bronze, however.

One day I'm going to skate the Guggenheim!

The Malevich gallery is a sweet sampling, though not a retrospective. I had three favorites in the Haunted show: Sally Mann's 3 photos based on negatives she found in the attic of her new home, Bernd and Hilla Becher's water towers, and Gillian Wearing's surprising self portrait at 3 years old.

Chef White grilling on 117th St

This guy has two Webber charcoal grills going under a pop-up tent with burgers, crab cakes, hot sausages, and dogs all day at 117th and Fredrick Douglas. They're grilled to perfection. I'll be back for more soon.

...but I don't want any crackers.

This altar enframement is in a doorway at the Metropolitan Museum. It's surprising with all the traffic that his nose isn't rubbed off.

Damien Hirst's shark ate my cracker!

Take a bite out of art before it takes a bite of you!

Cupcake Cafe and cracker

O.K. I've got to stop seeking cupcakes or I'll have to visit the cardiologist! Cupcake Cafe has a little counter inside Books of Wonder on 18th Street. I used to live near the 39th Street store and visit to get fresh made donuts on the weekend (Dounts? I know, what's the point?). They also used to make waffles at that location. Mmmm. We have the recipe from their book, but it was nice to walk two blocks over and have someone else make them for you. No dishes, no fuss, no egg white whipping, no batter folding. Just eating!

Try the maple cupcakes here. I've got a sweet tooth for them.

I can't imagine it ever happens, but even a Cake Wreck from Cupcake Cafe would still be lovely.

Tonnie's Cupcakes and cracker

We've got the best cupcakes in NYC in our neighborhood. They are just delightful, and they're inexpensive too. Your cupcake tour is not complete without a visit to Tonnie's Cupcakes. From left to right we had the Sweet Potato Pie, the Cappuccino cupcake, and a Strawberry Vanilla cupcake. The little cup had an espresso to wash it all down.

Kiki, Tulips, & Cracker

I was out on a Sunday afternoon and came across this amazing community garden on 90th Street between Columbus & Amsterdam. I met a clown who was taking self-portraits with the tulips so, as every New Yorker has done from time to time, I offered to take the picture for her. When I walk through Times Square I almost always find a tourist group who would have had one person missing in the photo if I hadn't volunteered.

It turns out that this clown is rather well known! I'm touched by fame having met Kiki. She does face painting and balloons for kids parties. She also does dress-up as the Prettiest Princess. She's been featured on Good Morning America. You can check out her site here: kikisfacesandballoons.vox.com

Dr. Crispy and Cracker

My friend Chris Poultney (a.k.a. Dr Crispy) is officially a doctor now, although he's no Marcus Welby. He's much smarter than that. He doesn't just play a doctor on TV. Congrats on defending your dissertation!

Flaming Lips and Cracker at Vassar

Flaming Lips released their cover of Dark Side of the Moon this past Saturday on vinyl. We were in Poughkeepsie to see them at a small intimate venue.

Wayne walked over the audience in a bubble to start the show.

They did all of their usuals like Yoshimi, The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song, Do You Realize??, along with a lot of chill-out psychedelic experimentation.

Before the show ushers passed out handfuls of laser pointers. Then, Wayne asked everyone to take them out and point them at him with the lights off. He held up a large mirror and shot the beams back at the audience through show smoke. It was a really amazing moment. I'd be surprised if Mr. Coyne isn't blind from all the beams in his face.

He then put on the giant hands with high power green laser beams in the palms. He swept them over the audience up to the enormous half disco ball where the beams scattered in every direction.

The Flaming Lips make great tunes, but their show is pure performance art.

New for Earth Day: Green (brown) Packaging

To celebrate Earth Day 2010, POTUS31 redesigned all of our packaging with recycled paper that contains 30% post consumer content. Also, the brown box uses no bleach or paper whiteners/brighteners, lowering the accumulation of organochlorines in the environment. All boxes are printed and hand assembled in the USA (although sometimes New Yorkers like to think they live on an island off the coast of America). Complies with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) guidelines.

These boxes also vend from the familiar Art-O-Mat art vending machines (except for the fortune cookie which you can get here) so look for them at your Arto venue.

My UPS guy, Francisco, and Cracker

This guy is the best when it comes to my deliveries. Always on top of things, and always smiling. Thanks Francisco!

Cracker in Central Park Blizzard

There was nobody out when the snow started yesterday. There were no foot prints or tire tracks. It made me realize how busy this three lane road in Central Park is on a normal day. It was all empty, white and untouched. I love weather like this.

Cracker at Tom's Diner from Seinfeld

George, Jerry, Elaine, & Kramer are seen regularly eating at Tom's Restaurant on Seinfeld. Here, the place is decorated for the holidays with string lights.

Patsy's Pizza 45¢ Linguini Clam Sauce

For Patsy's 76th Anniversary, they rolled back the prices to 1933 prices. The line was long, but people were patient. There were several cars from the period parked outside.
