Please pardon the interruption to your regularly scheduled Internet browsing but I just wanted to share this observation with you since it struck me as kind of odd. The other day I was heading back from the PDN Photo Expo with my good buddy Skeleton Pete and as we headed to the event we noticed how the bar once known as Shutters was now for lack of a better word “shuttered”.
I had never been to the establishment but did find it fascinating at the wordplay. Alright that is all I have for you now. Carry on and thanks for listening.
Happy Halloween 2010 Everybody!!!
Halloween is really one of my favorite times of the year and I think that all of the fun that one can have along with how much creativity people demonstrate in terms of their costumes is what makes me feel this way. Of course had I said this as a youth I would have likely said the candy was paramount but these days one needs to watch the calories. Moving along, this year I decided to go through some odd and spooky images and present them to you all in a little Halloween hell-o. I also captured some ghoulish delights around the city in my wanderings so who knows, perhaps I will make this a yearly thing. Only time will tell. These first few photos are from a gig that was happening at B.B. King’s and if memory serves me correctly, this was a show by The Misfits. Dim the lights, and snuggle close to someone you trust because these characters sure looked scary. This first ghoul was out to get the patrons of B.B. King’s without question but the wraith would later get a whopping care of Jerry Only and the rest of the band.
PiercingKen Goes To The PDN Photoplus Expo 2010
Today was going to be my first ever time attending the PDN Photoplus Expo at the Javits Center. Even though I have been writing about and photographing the things that interest me for a number of years now, it was only very recently that I decided to delve into the conventions and that is why my PiercingMetal fans have some coverage of the 2010 New York Comic Con on the main site.
For those in the unaware, the PDN Photoplus Expo is where all the major companies that deal with photography come to showcase their wares and to make some sales. Its daunting if you are a professional as much as a hobbyist. Trust me on that. So I am here wandering with my buddy Pete Parrella who most of you know as Skeleton Pete and since I am not “on assignment” I was just testing the waters to see what was around. This will mostly be a photographic presentation of the lovely sites and coolness so do please enjoy.

Nathan Sawaya’s “The Art Of The Brick” Lego Exhibit
Folks who are following the main adventuring over on PiercingMetal.com are very aware of all the coverage that we gave to the NY Comic Con and Anime Festival 2010 which was held over at the Jacob Javits Center. If you are scratching your head then please allow me to refresh your memory.
We were here…..
and we were doing a little bit of this….
and while there was a ton of things to broadcast on the main site about this…..
there were some things that bore a little closer examination and were better served up in postings of their own. One such display was that of sculptor Nathan Sawaya who works with Lego bricks as his medium and calls his line of statues “The Art Of The Brick”. I took a bunch of photos from the Comic Con showcase but did not manage to get them all. Check it out. Continue reading Nathan Sawaya’s “The Art Of The Brick” Lego Exhibit
PiercingKen Attended The NY Comic Con 2010
For as long as I can remember I have been a fan of comic books, super-heroes and pretty much the whole Science-Fiction medium as a whole. During college I did a short internship over at Marvel Comics and while I “used to” draw various doodles and images, this was put aside to be more serious about semi-professional music pursuits. Anyway, a few days ago was the annual NY Comic Con & Anime Festival which was held at the Jacob Javits Center on the West Side. I attended all three days of the massive event and documented these adventures over on the official blog for my PiercingMetal.com website since I had been able to wander the halls as a member of the press. Clicking the logo below will bring you over there so you can enjoy what we saw and hopefully feel like you were walking next to us. This personal blog might do that every so often, and of course the PiercingMetal.com one might send readers over here when the need arises.
Please note that comments are disabled on this leader posting as we prefer any that readers might have be placed on the actual content postings. Have fun. We did post our visit to the fashion show that was held at the Comic Con by the Hangry & Angry folks and you can see those observations and images by clicking HERE.
