A recent move to busier section of Elmwood throws the spotlight squarely on the great stuff that co-owners Jon Eisenberg and Joe Stocker are doing with their bespoke and (expanding) ready-to-wear men’s shop in the Elmwood Village. Withartist/designer David Mitchell as part of their team (his hot red lips mural on the north side of their building is an Instagram hit), the cleverly divided space is a hip destination for men of all ages to get measured and fit for a custom shirt, pants, or suit.  - Buffalo Spree (online August 2019)

Leonard Hilton McGurr is better known as Futura2000, a moniker he adopted as an influential part of the early New York City graffiti scene in the 1970s. He gained recognition through his unique combination of abstraction, pop culture references, and more traditional graffiti elements, culminating in his infamous 1980 work Break Train, in which he covered a full subway car. He participated in groundbreaking exhibitions alongside prominent figures such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, and in notable tours with The Clash and the 1982 New York City Rap Tour. Futura’s practice embodies the duality practiced by many contemporary artists, both continuing his painting career while collaborating with brands and developing product lines.  - Buffalo AKG Art Museum (online October 2023)
