Overview

Overflowing with striking photography and essays, Big Head, Big City...New York exposes the celebrity of New York like never before. Kardashian's dancing in Hell's Kitchen, Trump and Hillary flirting in Central Park, and Amy Poehler jamming with the guys from N.W.A are only the beginning of this underbelly of New York City's most glamorous, self-important residents. Where Humans of New York captured the heart-wrenching pulse of Manhattan, Big Head, Big City....New York uncovers its hilarious spirit. A city spewing with celebrity, it was only a matter of time before these acts were captured. Clever, comical and, creative, these celebrities simply can't help but get caught in these unflattering situations. Joel Strong's art project started out simple: hold tiny cut-outs of Leonardo DiCaprio stills from the 90s over strangers' faces and Instagram it-- A sort Humans of New York meets BOP Magazine, as he puts it. His love for everything social--social media, human interaction, celebrity, and fashion--is evident in each post, but there's also something refreshingly intriguing about the canvas of the art project itself. While most are posting photos of their gourmet meal at wherever (who cares?), or boring (and borderline sociopathic) selfies, Joel Strong's mydaywithleo unwittingly advises you to retire your narcissistic ploys and start thinking deeper--but not too deep. Called a genius by Pop Up Magazine, Strong has emerged as one of the top social media artists and his singular POV and style is refreshingly quirky.
