While I was at the NEXT Tower City store, I took a walk around Tower City and noticed the amazing skylight above me. I snapped a photo and the picture came out unbelievably. It looks like art to me. Check it out.

Do you have any tattoos? Have you ever wanted one?
Well if you have any or want any, you know how important it is to get familiar with the tattoo artist doing your ink. Tattoos last forever and you don’t want just anybody in control of the needle that will change your body forever. Luckily, I’m here to introduce you to Focused Studio on Coventry in Cleveland Heights. Owned by twin brothers Jimmy and Jonny Hayden, Focused is the place to get the best ink in Cleveland. I went there recently to check out their work. I even was able to document a tattoo being done from start to finish.
I hit the streets of Cleveland in search of street art. What’s my definition of street art? It’s graffiti, murals, statues, and anything else on the streets that makes you stop and look twice. Whether it’s a full scale mural or just a small graffiti tag, the streets are full or raw images by local artists who share their talents and leave a mark on the city.

Cleveland is full of ethnic groups and ethnic neighborhoods. One historically known section of the city is Little Italy on the East side. It is a part of town full of Italian-owned businesses including restaurants, bakeries, and other various shops. Little Italy was established in 1885 when large groups of Italian immigrants came to Cleveland to work. Like many ethnic groups at the time, this Italian community stayed in the area and began to establish businesses of their own. Still today, this neighborhood holds a nostalgic charm. The street is full of flags and pride for the culture. I spent the day in Little Italy yesterday and snapped these great shots. I also snagged myself a delicious eclair from Corbo’s Bakery. Italian desserts will definitely give you a feeling of La Dolce Vita.
The essence of the Italian culture is apparent in these photos. I tried to capture their love of food, faith and flowers. Check out the rest of the pics here. Keep reading.
Usher’s OMG Tour is stopping in Cleveland on Thursday and I realized that I needed something to wear to the concert. I took a hidden track from Usher’s album “Here I Stand” and decided to make a shirt for the show. Can you guess the name of the track? haha.
Cleveland artist, George Vlosich, is famous for using a childhood toy to create intricate works of art. He creates detailed pictures with careful turns of the knobs of an Etch-a-Sketch.
In honor of this Friday’s Royal Wedding, Vlosich has created a picture of Prince William and his bride-to-be Kate Middleton. Word of this impressive work of art has made it as far as London’s Daily Mail and other publications in the UK. The picture, which was created in three weeks, was a composite of about 25 photographs of the famous couple.
See the progression and the final product below.

BIG BANG BIG BOOM – the new wall-painted animation by BLU
Another brilliant stop-motion street art animation by artist BLU. This is probably BLU’s best work so far in my opinion, in that this one is cyclical and has a sense of plot and message, rather than just the random transformations of his previous projects. Check it out and see for yourself.
