So, a few days ago, I was riding the subway down to my job, and as I’m standing in the car, I’m taking the time to check out the art that they have currently up:
Hmm... interesting....
Given where I am standing, I can see that this piece has the name of the artist, and so I look closer:
Andrea--wait, Andrea?!?
And then I realize — I know the girl who made this! She was a fellow classmate in my days at Parsons, and extremely talented in world of information design; I had completely forgotten that her skills also extended to illustration. What really made this an ironic moment is that only reason I recognized the name is because just a few days prior, I had actually gotten a Friend request from her on Facebook. It was the first time that I ever really saw her last name spelled out, so it had stuck in my mind.
Ah, the wacky small-town life of NYC.
