“One thing I definitely experienced up here (New York), that maybe I have to sort of cop to feeling defensive about, is since the election, people in my cohort, who are sensitive to portrayals of people in the movie as classist, have had no problem coming up with those sorts of [middle-American] stereotypes about a phantom real person they can blame for re-electing George Bush.” PeoplePersonsRealFeelingsProblemOne ThingMiddleNew YorkElectionBlameSensitiveCopStereotypeNo ProblemPhantomsReal PersonPortrayal Author:Philip Morrison
“I had just been doing graffiti around New York and this real estate investor guy had walked through meat packing in New York and saw some of my graffiti. He was impressed and asked if I sold canvases. I really had not made any canvases of my graffiti work yet, but told him I could make one for him. He then commissioned me to make ten paintings and put on my first art show. Between the sold out show and the cops chasing after me it created a lot of media and I've been doing really well since then.” IfsFirstsWellsArtMadeRealShowsGuySawsMediaNew YorkPaintingTenMeatInvestorsCopImpressedEstatesChasingGraffitiPackingSold Out Author:Alec Monopoly

“One of my first observations about New York that I was so fascinated with was that you'd be at a stoplight and you're with everybody; there's a homeless dude and some weird celebrity and a cop and someone who looks exactly like you. You're on foot and everyone is at street level and eye-to-eye.
