The Secret Life of Fireplugs

These are some of the portraits I've painted of the plugs I've seen all my life, poking out of the buildings and sidewalks around New York City. I love all things mechanical in general, and all things New York in particular, so these curious little plugs scattered across the city landscape have always attracted me.
To see them up close and personal, and read their stories, click each of the images:

  2. These are all great. I find industrial landscapes and the psychotic contraptions that litter them to be really beautiful.
