Zoom The NYC Subway Art Series has been such an amazing success! This was a fun project to start as I settled back into New York. It was my way to get to know my city better and in the process I feel I was able to capture something new and fresh.
The final and playful piece of art I will contribute to the subway art series is this little critter from “City Dwellers” by Mark Hadjipateras at the 28th Street R train station. 
This adorable mouse was inspired by a very important toy factory that used to be inside of the flatiron building. In fact, there are toys all over the station. The artist also used different influences from the neighborhood, like the garment and flower districts, to create a New York tribute for commuters. I was impressed by how many different toys are lingering in the station and some seem to be in the most random places. There’s even one right when you’re about to exit the station, by the stairs.
I hope this series made you want to do your own art crawl, but for now you can use mine. Below is the list of all the art I visited as well as the links from all of the NYC Subway Art Series posts. 
Life Underground by Tom Otterness (14th Street -A,C,E      train station)

Zoom I still can’t believe Whitney Houston has passed away.
I WANNA SEE THE RECEIPTS!!!
All through my growing up, Whitney Houston exuded elegance, grace, and had one of the most amazing voices in music history. I did laugh and make jokes about “crack” being “wack” and her reality TV show, but at the end of the day I was more a fan than a hater. I loved her music and she will continue on in peoples hearts because of it.
RIP Whitney Houston
