Brooklyn Tales

La Bruja
The practices of dark magic have been around for centuries and have always found roots in densely populated, relatively poor classes. For this reason, many parts of a city like Brooklyn, and her many sub cities and neighborhoods, attracted such practices around every corner.

Brooklyn Beats
The twins dance, mesmerizing, hypnotic, the music spins you round and round and you’ve lost your way. But the beat keeps you here, unable to break free, unable to stop the dance. Surrounded by the crowds and the speakers but alone but for the twins, helplessly surrendering to them. Slaves to the rhythm!

From the ashes, the bottom of the deepest darkest recesses will rise a power unlike any power ever before beheld!

Break for Love
Cupids arrow, so swift and sharp, like the bite of a piranha, like the blade from razor barbed wire, like the cut of a knife. We have all felt that sting, sometimes with great pleasure, sometimes with dire results, we have felt the sting, like an acid burn, deep inside to reaches unreachable. And after we heal, we beg for more.

Prospect Park
On a smoke break, enjoying the scene, maybe a bit too much for a super woman, keen, intelligent, sharp as an iron chef blade. I am impervious, hard as stone, unbreakable, I assume, made of sand and stone and earth but still made of man and man’s imperfections. Dare I stare another moment.

The Bridge
Everywhere along the river they dance, laying petals into the winds as the race playfully during only the darkest moonless nights, you have to be quick to spot them, or wildly intoxicated they will show themselves knowing full well you stories about them will be laughed away. Fairies? Angels? Alien? Gorgeous?

The Front of Grand Army
The Gateway between the frenetic-ness of the urban world of Brooklyn and the nature in Prospect Park is guarded by the Quadriga, a representation of an spiritual meaning through concrete or material forms. A figurative treatment of one subject under the guise of another.

Even after painting her my imagination runs in hundreds of outrageous directions with wild adventures for her!

Bedford Ave
My first apartment was on Bedford ave in Williamsburg, Bklyn. It will always hold some nostalgia for me so its only fitting that the first piece in this series be titled from the first street i lived on. Bedford ave, where rival crack dealers often shot each other for control of any particular corner gives way to the trendy restaurants,

Neptune’s Break
Neptune, mythical Roman God of the water and sea, is shown here rocking and breaking beats over waves of air and waves of white water horse-pulled chariots crashing onto Brooklyn shores! Neptune Ave, which rides right through Coney Island and leads directly to the beach is another historical Brooklyn marker lost to busy commutes and fast-paced lifestyles.
