When COVID hit, life turned surreal. Daily rituals and simple things like buying coffee and the newspaper stopped. Everything closed and countless people moved out. Almost overnight, the once vibrant streets filled with pedestrians, cyclists, cars, buses and trucks turned empty and desolate. Normality went out the window as the garbage started
piling up on the curb. People watching from a cafe’s window table was no longer a viable past time. Gone went the cafes and the people. With limited options, I turned inward. What else to do? But by doing so, I became extremely prolific, working tirelessly as life in the Big Apple as we all knew it ceased to exist. The city that never sleeps turned
into the city that sleeps. It was then I went to the streets and rooftops with my iPhone and then sharpies and created this book.

From the Foreword by Gregory de la Haba

“His art can be seen on some of the most famous brands around the globe. There’s the BTA custom Swatch Watch that was unveiled in Piazza San Marco during the 2009 Venice Biennale; the BTA custom Lamborghini show in Hong Kong, the Nescafe, BTA Dolce Gusto launch in Switzerland, or the Goebel-BTA product line showcased in Paris just before the COVID lockdowns. His is a New York City-inspired pop-art imbued with the vibrancy of the place he has called home for more than three decades.”
