How Many Tickets Could You Possibly Get . . .
. . . to have enough to turn them into art is the real question:
Posted: September 16th, 2007 | Filed under: Crap Your Pants Say Yeah!A Brooklyn sculptor has found a new use for the parking and sanitation tickets he’s received -he’s turned them into protest art.
Using the tickets, along with foam and wire, Osaretin Ighile has fashioned what he calls “Mayor’s Bust.”
The likeness of Mayor Bloomberg chomping on a stogie was displayed on the steps of City Hall for an hour yesterday.
“This was created out of my personal experience. I live and work in Brooklyn, and these are tickets that I have gotten over time. Most of them unwarranted,” said Ighile, a Nigerian immigrant.
