"I really love putting my work on these NYC subway maps. They make a really great piece from paper and considering I'm from NYC, the combination is perfect.
To me everything I create is special doesn't matter what time year when where and how but these NYC subway maps I create are always special cause I'm giving the world a piece of New York City history and hope they enjoy them." - Cope2
