Wallpaper and Art Card for the MTA (New York City)

The Metropolitan Transit Authority asked for a poster which would appear in subways cars on the MTA system. The MTA design team requested an image based on my experience riding subways and encouraged letting the imagination run free. My main goal was to create an escape for the rider so cars flying in a Jetson-like manner around the city while catching the “lines”  struck as a perfect idea. Every New Yorker knows the colorful circular icons for the lines and since I am a color guy it was the perfect element for play. I was hoping floating balls would create a momentary sense of calm or zen during a commute. A program was also started to customize cars with interior wallpaper and this poster was converted into wallpaper. The poster is available for purchase from the MTA.
