So I had this brillant idea to go swimming when I was feeling a bit under the weather...and I did laps to top it off. While on the way home I stopped into a cute little Green cafe in East Village close to the corner of 14th and Avenue A. Once inside with my glass of green tea, I could not help but notice the very unique self portraits by the artist Karl Erik Larson. He apparently is into cubism but his style gives a very interesting and stylish twist to portraiture- a subject that can sometimes be rather boring. Well not his work, with his use of lighting and geometric patterns on the faces of everyday people you want to have your own face immortalized by his talented hands. Check him out if you get a chance...and get a cup of local brew.
