should replace the apple as the symbol of ny in my opinion. it's the cover of one of the most influential albums of all time from the most important band to ever come out of nyc (the velvet underground!) AND it represents the american pop art movement and mass production. both simple and mundane and provocative and controversial in nature. blurs the line between perceived high art and low, lazy art. bonus: tactile feature of peeling off the vinyl cover to reveal pink fruit underneath, marrying visual art and music, setting a precedent for the vinyl printing industry to create more involved packaging.

What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you can know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.

I always pull inspiration from these books. I love reading Andy’s escapades and the graphic presentation of Babitz words in the original Fiorucci book.

when there are worms wriggling on the sidewalk, pick them up and gently place them back in the dirt where they belong. otherwise they may dry up or get stepped on. those poor wiggly guys don't stand a chance and they need YOU. you can even keep a tally of worms saved and be a superhero to the worm kingdom.
