NYC Box Truck: Manhattan w/ Micah
The "city that never sleeps" is comprised of five boroughs. However, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that doesn't categorize Manhattan as the quintessential mainland— no matter what partialness to the others. The 13-mile stretch (length) is filled with more history, relics, and stories than most can imagine. The magic of the most hustle and bustle lays here.
Harlemite and native New Yorker Micah, of über-successful local lifestyle brand Only NY, knows this probably better than anyone. He cites the city's unlimited sights, sounds, and pulses as the unlimited source of inspiration for his art. Well, that and his fondness for the tranquility of nature— the complete opposite of the urban jungle. This limbo or understanding of balance, if you will, is what best describes his art's flow, a parallel to the city's momentum and pace.

Shantell Martin | Video Print
On this episode of Video Print we caught up with Shantell Martin at her studio in Lower Manhattan where she gave us insight into how her environment impacts her work, how she prefers being performing artist and the evolution in tools she's used to create. Shantell Martin is a shining example of how to be yourself, which is immediately evident through the objects she uses as her canvas and the freedom of boundaries expressed within her art.
