Art Cabs In New York City
For the month of January, cabs in New York City will be showing art rather than ads. 500 taxi cabs in the Big Apple will be eschewing the familiar strip-club and vodka advertisements featured on their rooftop billboards. Instead, work by artists such as Shirin Neshat, Alex Katz, and Yoko Ono will be lighting up the city. Mad respect to Show Media, who are the owners of the ad space, and John Amato, Show’s part-owner and art fan.

Greg Mike
Born and raised during the eighties, Greg Mike grew up around the street artists and skate kids of New York City. It didn’t take long for him to find his own voice in this maelstrom of art and street culture, spending his formative tagging anything he could get at. As Mike honed his craft by night, and paid bills by day, a part of him struggled to break free and develop a new medium for himself. So then were Mad Cans, pop cans detailed with wild street art designs, born. The cans took off, finding homes in galleries and private collections. In this exclusive interview, Greg Mike talks with Format about what goes into his art, and the future of art as communication.
“I think from a line style and color perspective, it’s apparent that I come from that arena. I’ve always enjoyed the character work over lettering as I it was so easy to relate to.”
