Art of the Metrocard

Posted by Queuebot in Art on May 7, 2010 at 4:50 pm

You need a metrocard to ride the NYC subway.
Most people just throw it away when they don’t need it anymore. But other use the small credit card size card as a canvas for art, origami and other art-like inspirations.

remember lots of advertisers and local tourist stops using the backs of the cards for messages and promotions. But, others have used this little 3×2 card as a canvas for paintings and silk screens. Or, used discarded cards to make origami-like objects.
