There are projects on my bucket list and much to my delight Amy Hausmann who runs the wonderful subway art card program for the Metropolitan Transit Authority asked for a poster which would appear in subways cars on the MTA system in 2017. Amy wanted an image based on my experience riding subways and encouraged letting the imagination run free. My main goal was to create an escape for the rider so cars flying in a Jetson-like manner around the city while catching the “lines” struck as a perfect idea. Every New Yorker knows the colorful circular icons for the lines and since I am a color guy it was the perfect element for play. I was hoping floating balls would create a momentary sense of calm or zen during a commute. Ann and the team at MTA arts were very supportive and it was one of the most enjoyable collaborative processes I’ve had in my career. Much thanks to Amy and the team for the opportunity to feel like a part of the city.
