Poster Boy – Gone Fishin

On February 21, 2009, an advertising firm handed Poster Boy a MoMA jacket and gave him free range of the MoMA branded Atlantic-Pacific subway station in New York. Turns out the firm wasn’t supposed to do that, and MoMA fired them. Whoops.

Check out Posterboy’s brand new book.

Nostalgia Train Tea Party

Every so often the MTA runs vintage “Nostalgia Trains” in the New York subway for special occasions. Last month the Levy Family organized a old-timey tea party on one of those trains, effectively completing the “turn back the clock” atmosphere.

Some urban pranksters out in San Francisco recently installed swings on a few BART train cars. The resulting photos are awesome.

Caroline Woolard did a project like this in New York back in 2006. Check out her video:
