I saw the Imagine Peace Tower
I was in awe of it, and I showed it to my mother; that peace was something beautiful to see. I saw a little bit of it, and I was still inspired, and I still remember it to this day. Besides, you don’t see something beautiful like that every day. You’re doing a wonderful job creating this beautiful imaginary Tower of Peace. Later, I had a poster of the tower in my room.

Frida the movie
I saw the Frida Kahlo movie starring Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo. It was a great movie, and Frida Kahlo lived a hellish life, and her marriage to the Mexican painter Diego Rivera was as wild and tumultuous as he was. She painted from her sickbed; all her paintings were ways in which she told the story of her life to the world and beyond. The paintings that Frida created were as free and wild as she was. Frida Kahlo was a free spirit and a wild child before both were a thing. Frida Kahlo is and was. I saw the Frida Kahlo movie starring Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo.

Nighthawks
Edward Hopper created the iconic painting known as "Nighthawks". It is one of my favorite pieces of artwork and in the piece the people are lost souls who don't know and to me Nighthawks represents purgatory. The piece is eerie and it is dark and drew me in to it. Actually Nighthawks was one of the first artworks that I paid attention to not only is it eerie and dark I couldn't stop staring it actually left me in trance and lost in the world of Nighthawks. The artist who created this piece has other works like this where he would paint actual scenes from around New York, it is only the place where he lived.

Snl art dealers sketch
There is a Saturday night live sketch that I like a lot called “The art dealers”. It is about a married couple who work together as art dealers who are eccentric and out of this world because they are so into their own world the hilariousness comes from their interactions with the outside world and trying to share their world with those around them. I love this sketch. From what I wish I was they are my ideal.

The Gates by Christo and Jean Claude
Many years ago in Central Park in New York City there was a beautiful installation by artistic duo Christo and Jean Claude called “The Gates”. It was set up along the entire walking path in Central Park and lasted a good long time to the point that it over stayed its welcome in the opinion of some but not mine but after a while some New Yorkers had formed the opinion. The piece was orange frames with safron curtains like those that Buddhist monks wear draped over them. I wish that I had had the chance to experience but I missed out. I just want to say that the staff who approved the project for the park are geniuses.

The Andy Warhol Brillo Box
Andy Warhol is the king of Pop Art and he had been the first to incorporate everyday items that we as a society would never think to turn into art, Andy did it first with the Cambpell Soup can and then with the Brillo Soap Box. There was an art collector family who had a Warhol Brillo Soap Box in their collection and it did become part of their lives which is really rare for a piece of art to be able to do that and the daughter of the family who was a film maker made a documentary about it.

The I Love Lucy Mosaic
at the Lucy Desi Museum The I Love Lucy Mosaic now has become a part of the Lucy Desi Museum in Jamestown,New York. When they were putting together the mosaic fans were invited to send in pictures to be a part of the mosaic and I sent one or two and they were all added and I even have one photo on Desi’s cheek. The Ones I had sent in were me dressed as Ricky Ricardo at the Tropicana before it was Club Babalu and me with the Lucy Ricardo statue at Madam Toussands. I have a copy of the mosaic i just have yet to find a frame.

the Metropolitan Museum of Art
When I was in elementary school I went on a really cool and unforgettable field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the first time. It was a fantastic time I wondered around the asian exhibits a great deal as well as through the galleries and it was simply amazing and a fantastic enchancement to the senses. Since then I had gone back also to see an exhibition that featured fine high fashion and couture from Versace as well as other notable fashion designers. Inside this building a lot of magical things have taken place and history upon history has also been made within its hollowed walls.
