“I have seen so many wonderful MTA Art & Design posters, and literally I had been telling the universe for years that I would work on this assignment someday. So, when I received a call from art director Lydia Bradshaw, I did my secret but loud happy dance like a penguin (my grandmother had a signature dance move called ‘penguin dance!’) Anyway, this piece has everything that I love about New York City: music, history, buildings, a diverse group of people, and MTA subways! It’s a celebration of the people in the city. The microphone at the center is for you to sing or say it like you mean it!”
