Edward Hopper, Skyline Near Washington Square, 1925. Watercolor and graphite on paper,

"Skyline Near Washington Square portrays an austere Manhattan rooftop behind which rises a single gaunt narrow building that dominates the sky. When first shown, this work bore the title Self-Portrait, an ironical and self-referential joke in the form of a visual pun on Hopper's own great height, which had long been an object of caricature and comment by himself and his friends. The original title, which also appears in the artist's record books, must have puzzled any viewer unfamiliar with Hopper's lanky figure. For this watercolor Hopper's wife Jo noted in the record books she kept of his work as it left the studio. 'Self-Portrait. Roof & top of higher house sticking up behind. Skyline near Wash. Sq.' By the time he sold the work in 1927 he had renamed it, concealing the self-reference with the purely descriptive title."

Tilly, 16

“I’m wearing a Mobile Gundam Suit graphic tee, fishnet gloves with ribbons, a skirt from HOTTOPIC that buttons at the front, grommet belt with a chain, spider web fishnets with garters, Doc Martens, black and striped knee socks, and my 3-ringed choker with a patch attached to it. And a lot inspires my style since I’m not totally done improving my wardrobe. I take a lot of influence from various j-fashion magazines and subcultures.“

Washington Square Park, New York, NY

I used to come here all the time when I started working in NY, 1985. Seems like ages ago. With this snapshot, I was passing through, looking to see if I could pick up some obscure music in the village for a friend of mine in Virginia. I was in NY for my Dad's 97th Birthday!
