Bio

I graduated from Cooper Union in 2004, moved back uptown to my parents house and started a zine/blog about The Upper East Side called The UES Journal. I have worked part-time at Guild & Greyshkul Gallery on and off for the last five years.

Since 2000 I have been making chainmaille jewelry and recently launched a jewelry line called IMK.  I also now maintain a blog about pigeons called The It-Pigeon, and a blog about Vanity Plates.

In 2008 I recorded my second album To Be Good for a Day with Mike Musmanno in DUMBO, Brooklyn.  It will be available on iTunes January 28, 2009.

Music
This song is “Untitled,” from Rebecca Schiffman’s sophomore album “To Be Good for a Day.”

There’s a bunch of people exhibiting this month, so in an effort to conserve electrons I’m presenting them all in one convenient and environmentally sound post.

Hope you can join us from 6-9pm at Lolita Bar (266 Broome @ Allen) on the Lower East Side next Thursday, December 11 for some vibrant pop art, good tunes and warm local food. Lolita has an excellent happy hour, too, from 5-8. It’s a cozy place to stop in for a drink with winter settling in, so come on by and feel free to bring friends.
