DAZE WORLD is a photo book featuring hundreds of photographs of the iconic New York City street artist's work.

This is the illustrated story of New York artist Chris Daze Ellis’s successful transition from the subways to international studios and galleries. Follow his 30+ year career from his days as a teenage graffiti writer to his current life as a professional painter, mentor, and family man. This book, with more than 250 photographs, is a journey tracking the seminal moments in Daze’s life that shaped his art. View his aesthetic evolution, from “Graffiti High” (New York’s High School of Art and Design) and an “unsanctioned” street art phase to exhibitions with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Train photos from the 1970s and ’80s, a broad representation of Daze’s studio and mural works, and personal photos guide the reader through an artistic portfolio spanning five decades. Contributions by graffiti writer Jay “J.SON” Edlin and essayist Claire Schwartz, and a foreword by graffiti historian and chronicler Sacha Jenkins, complete this volume.

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.

Local pro photographers James and Karla Murray have a YouTube series in which they explore neighborhoods around New York City from their unique perspective. In this recent video from the duo, watch as they show you the best view you can get of New York City for the price of $2.75.

We take the ROOSEVELT ISLAND TRAM to see the BEST VIEWS OF NEW YORK CITY TO & FROM THE UPPER EAST SIDE OF MANHATTAN for only the price of a subway ride at $2.75 each way. While on Roosevelt Island, we also visit the Four Freedoms Park on the southern tip of the island and see more amazing views of Manhattan skyscrapers and the Queensboro Bridge aka 59th Street Bridge and the borough of Queens, New York. The Roosevelt Island Tramway is the only commuter cable car in North America and the ride itself only takes about 5 minutes. We take the tram from the Upper East Side of Manhattan to Roosevelt Island and then back again so you can see the spectacular views each way!
