[VIDEO] Homestead Brooklyn: Model Creates Urban Forest in Her Brooklyn Apartment

2020-08-21T16:00:00-04:00

Summer Rayne Oakes moved to New York City as a model, not expecting it to be permanent, but 15 years and over 1100 plants later, she's created an urban forest in the Brooklyn apartment she calls home.

“Growing up in the country, close to nature and my mother's collection of National Geographic magazines, I had never imagined myself living in the city for so long… I think a lot of people are like me—rural transplants in an urban environment, seeking a way to live more sustainably and in sync with nature. Even for those of us who have never stepped barefoot on a blade of grass, there's something inherently in us that is connected to nature—on a much deeper, biological level.”

Watch: Nudism and Art Intersect in SoHo Through The Men's Naked Drawing Group [NSFW]

2016-07-28T10:03:42-04:00

The Men's Naked Drawing Group is a small group of men meeting regularly in Soho that draw each other's naked form as a way to promote body positivity and art.

In this video from Joshua Futtersak and Barbara Marcolini, learn all about the group and their leader 'Shungaboy'.

Shungaboy wants to paint, but even more so, he wants to be naked. The Men’s Naked Drawing Group, which Shungaboy founded, is a group of like-minded nudists who want a place to explore their art without judgment. In a small studio in SoHo, they do just that, meeting every two weeks to rediscover their naked selves. A New York resident who does not like to reveal his name, Shungaboy’s adopted moniker is borrowed from “Shunga,” the erotic art form of seventeenth-century Japan that inspires him. “The natural body is actually more attractive than the chiseled hunk,” Shungaboy says, which may as well be the motto of this accepting group of painters.
