In Buffalo
Another awesome account that shows you the best/most photogenic parts of our great city. Since none of the photos are geo- or hashtagged, it’s always fun to try and figure out where each one was taken (and if all else fails, you can always ask).

While she recently relocated to NYC, the painter who runs this account was born and raised in good ol’ Buffalo and returns home to visit and do commissioned work now and then. Her most recent pieces include an outdoor mural at Bottoms Up and a portrait of Damian Leigh in his infamous blue hoodie and sunglasses from everyone’s favorite movie ‘Mean Girls’. She doesn’t even go here!
