New Yorkers

I was walking by a tied-up black trash bag one day, and on top of it was a pigeon staring at me poised like a king. That scene has stuck with me ever since.

This print collection is inspired by that pigeon's sharp look, by rats I encounter almost every day - dead or alive, and by the G train that I've spent so much of my life waiting for. Made by a New Yorker, for New Yorkers.
