The New York City Department of Transportation commissioned John Morse to create "Curbside Haiku."
There over 200 signs in all five boroughs of the city. The signs are attached to light poles and at the entrance to public parking lots. A very clever writer for the New York Times wrote an "article" about Curbside Haiku; in what else haiku. He beat me to it.
I never met a sign, I liked in NYC. You never know if you parking legally or illegally. Being suspicious, I believe its on purpose. Between NO STANDING, NO PARKING and DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT PARKING HERE, it's a virtual world of confusion.
John Morse has brought poetry and good graphics to the world of signage in NYC.
I love it!
