Max Singer has posted his free drawings all over Manhattan. Painter, illustrator and graphic designer Max Singer has been hanging his drawings in public areas citywide with signs encouraging people to take them home.
The artist is the creative force behind “angstville," a non-linear comic strip featuring characters he's emblazoned on everything from sidewalks to store windows. The idea slowly evolved from creating sidewalk drawings with chalk to making pieces that people could take with them.
Max has hung his drawings in front of the MoMA, the Whitney and the Guggenheim. Sometimes, he chooses one avenue and hangs drawings on trees over a 10-block span. Every Sunday, he creates a small display on the window of The Source, a gift shop near his Yorkville studio. He also maintains a Tumblr blog to chronicle the project."
