New York City yellow cabs will soon be covered bumper-to-bumper in these weather proof flower decals, most of which were hand painted by area elementary schoolers. The work is part of Portraits of Hope, a foundation that works to provide creative therapy for terminally sick children.I wanted to draw attention to this for four reasons:
1. This is a good idea. Any product or company could have done full cab wraps and (assuming it was done in an attractive way and on a large scale) gotten some good buzz.
2. Everything cool happens in New York.
3. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd become a conceptual artist and dream up things like this all day.
4. Some of the comments posted below the story are pretty funny: "Pointless, worthless, mindless, garbage." Way to let those terminally ill kids have it!
