It’s crazy making time again! As I’m writing this column to you now, I realize I am sublimating my own anxiety about the coming weekend that I also am personally invested in

This past Saturday, on an idyllic summer evening, Katarina Hybenova, Bushwick Daily’s beloved editor, was married to the wonderful artist Ken Kocses

We are over the moon here at Bushwick Daily because last night we won a third place Ippies Journalism Award for the best photograph!

Dear friends, readers and supporters,

The long version Bushwick Open Studios 2012

By Katarina Hybenova [singlepic id=506 w=640 h=427 float=center] Elisabeth runs Elias Botanica on 1252 Myrtle Ave, a place where you can get religious amulets or talk to your deceased relatives. It’s up to you which one of the Bushwick’s faces you choose to see everyday. You may choose to see galleries, trendy bars, poverty, dirty […]

Bushwick has its own

It hasn’t been such a long time since bicycle has upgraded from a humble mean of transportation used primarily by strangely smelling bachelors, to highly fashionable and all-Brooklyn-wide desired accessory

The steady sound of an electric fan is interrupted by a play button click, and by a Beyonce song right after.  A pointer in a little illuminated box is moving from side to side obeying the beat. The sound coming out the speakers is as wholesome as only the sound coming out of a quality […]

Tyrome Tripoli parks my bike in his Troutman St. studio just seconds before the pouring rain starts. Thick fat raindrops here and there should have been a warning enough before this summer mayhem. “This won’t last more than 20 minutes.” Ty says. “It took me a while to figure out New York summer rain. But […]

Good morning, dear Bushwick lady!  I would like to send you a warm welcome and some love from our regular radio cooking session. It is June 1959 in Brooklyn, your husband is at work, and your kid presumably stopped shrieking for a sweet moment.  Lean comfortably back in your chair, I hope your feet are resting on a […]

“Enough of the hypothetical duck talk,” I said, and Eric Trosko raised his eye-brows. It was one of the Bushwick gallery nights, and we were slowly melting our intellectual gallery experience immediately preceding this moment, in one of the number of kinds of the Six Point beer. Eric is probably the tallest painter in Bushwick, […]

On Sunday night, my mind and the minds of my peers in Paper Swan Loft are peaceful. The girl in red plaid blanket over her shoulders on the couch next to me is hugging her knees. Someone is offering freshly baked tiny pizza cakes from a cardboard box. The famous swan made of paper is […]

Bushwick is like a rough little alien animal that looks ugly on the first sight. Many people wrinkle their foreheads and noses in disagreement, when looking at it as if it smelled bad. But if you look closer, your heart has to melt, because this little alien animal has the friendliest soul. One of the […]

In my vintage 60’s dress obtained in Williamsburg a couple of days ago, with the utmost care, a love for clothing, and the determination to face any fancy society, I am standing at the entrance of a SoHo loft where Sarah Small is throwing a benefit for her upcoming Tableau Vivant. I met Sarah a […]

Black coffee in a plastic cup that Andrew Birk served me in his studio at Johnson Avenue reached the perfect temperature to start being sipped and I just reached a peace agreement with my perfectionist self that this week’s Tuesday Person, Andrew Birk, will be photographed with an iPhone, instead of my regular bulky Canon […]

The sound of the breaks against the rubber tires of my bike feels so good. Alas! It’s the first beautiful day in Bushwick in about million years. I just stopped in front of Allison Somers‘  house at Wilson Avenue. Allison is sitting on the stairs holding the leash of her long-haired dog Lucy. She’s pleasurably […]

You can tell the excitement in the air… The 1st Bushwick ballet

It is any Friday night in Bushwick. The setting is simple. There are paintings hanging on the walls and about 3 times as many people as you could possibly imagine fitting into this gallery. The beer is still warm, and the gin tonic in my hand has been clearly been prepared by someone who strongly […]
