I was recently invited to an art presentation that was called “30 Rooms” and this was being held in an office building on what appeared to be an open floor for the Regus Business Center company. Organized and sponsored by Six Summit Gallery, the event would present thirty different artists in thirty different rooms. While I did not manage to see every single room, I did get to a bunch that I really enjoyed and shall be presenting each of those artists in their own posting to allow for better focused attention. Here is Rebecca Jacob:

My first subject is Michelle Delecki.
Historically speaking, I actually met Michelle at one of the NY Comic Con’s a couple of years ago and our mutual appreciation of that which be Metal found us keeping in touch via the magic of Facebook. Michelle’s presentation was called “Starlets” and of course would be featuring a number of the film industry’s most beloved, and beautiful actresses ever. I asked Michelle about the premise and she offered up the following:
The name of my collection is “Starlets”. I painted famous Hollywood Golden Age actresses because I love the glamour and overall femininity that these women had. There was a luxurious style that was timeless and classy, and it’s completely relevant in today’s day and age. I worked with a simple color palette incorporating grey undertones and adding just a splash of color to add attention to the face. I wanted to keep everything very simple, because I wanted all of the focus to be on the beauty of the actress that I was painting. I wanted to capture their essence without it being overdone.
I saw this painted on a wall that I had passed on West 49th street in NYC and liked it so much I made a post out of it for you all. Sadly I didn’t see much else in terms of an artist or piece name but enjoy just the same. Hey I also did this post completely by Smartphone which was something that had not been tried yet. Ciao for now my friends. Always appreciate the life and pulse of the world around you. It’s good for the soul.
One of the main reasons that I love NYC so much is that even after you have finished your original nights plan and are heading home, you can be side-tracked into a totally different and unexpected adventure that is also very interesting. Such was the case when I was finished watching the Finnish singer Anni perform at the Mercury Lounge. After I did my whole music scribe pleasantries and started walking up Houston Street on my way home I noticed a place called the White Rabbit which was both a gallery space and a bar. Tonight there was a showing of the art of one Kennedy Yanko so I stuck my head inside and decided to snap a bunch of photos of her art and share them with you here.
