Walking around Select Art Fair (all photos courtesy of Ventiko) Bushwick is proudly weird. And weird people keep weird pets. Whether it’s a large yellow python whose owner hangs him on a tree at St. Nicholas Ave, or a big cat on a leash that frequently hangs on Bogart St. A Bushwick artist named Ventiko is one of those proud, weird […]

It may seem like quite a while ago at this point but the world’s best indie festival, South By Southwest, was just a few weeks past, March 12-16, and everyone in the music industry will continue to feel its repercussions all year, especially those from Brooklyn! From the bands that made it big to those that seemed to crash and burn, everyone who attended took away some great musical memories, including Bushwick Daily!
