5AM in New York and it’s not just any day but it’s my birthday. I’m listening to Lil’ Wayne, Drake, and Demi Lovato (I know, what a combo) and working per usual. But, for whatever reason, I thought about someone–my Dad.

From Jimi Hendrix to a old black and white of people in front of an old building, $5 will get you wall art of all kinds.
