If you have ever been to the subway at 14th Street and 8th Avenue, you have surely seen the bizarre little creations of Tom Otterness. Over 100 bronze sculptures adorn the nooks and crannies of this station. One of these has been utilized by Poster Boy in his latest flickr post, entitled “Headlamp.”
The piece utilizes a figure from a Shakespeare in the Park ad that was in circulation over a year ago. For this reason, it loses some of its relevance; one of the great qualities of Poster Boy’s early work was its hyper-currency. However, it is still an interesting piece and a fine example of the new direction the artist’s work is taking.
