There's been a lot of new subscribers lately and it's very appreciated. I wanted to take a second and say waddup to each of you and thank you for dropping in.

My name is Ricky Day. I am a New York based emerging artist and photographer with a musical past. I've exhibited in several group shows including the current show White Lies: Black Noise at Rush Arts in Chelsea. I've had a solo show in Washington DC called Introducing Ricky Day and I'm slated to appear in several shows this year.

I LOVE ART, PHOTOGRAPHY, MUSIC, FASHION AND ALL THINGS CREATIVE! The purpose of this blog is to not only share my work with the world, but more importantly it's to turn people on to art, fashion, sub-culture and so-called high culture who may not have been into it before. Urban Pop Life features profiles of established and emerging artists in all genres, music, videos, my musing on a variety of topics that interest me and conversations with art professionals. Of course I also share my photography and art on a regular basis.

This year promises to be an exciting one. I look forward to creating and sharing all kinds of great new work, both mine and by other artists. I also look forward to meeting lots of new people and doing my part to make this crazy world just a little bit better everyday.

We like to share great art, talk about pop culture and have fun here. So tell all ya friends about the blog and make sure you "POP" everyday. Sign up yo receive my blog posts via email or PDA.

Have a great day.

In an earlier post I explained how these paintings work. So let's see if you can determine the subject matter of these latest works. They are respectively titled "Iowa" and "Nominee."

Holla with your feedback.

The black on black numbers represent every person of African descent who has set foot in this country. The red and green numbers are the numbers that provide the context and meaning for each piece. Those numbers represent a date, event or subject of significance in African-American history. Each work has a simple title that hints at the meaning of the work and the rest is up to you. These works are a part of my on-going examination of history, image making and American pop culture and the contributions of marginalized persons of color to American history and pop culture.
