Bronze alligator found in NYC sewer system!

The bronze works of artist Tom Otterness are everywhere; in the NYC subway system, in it's parks, on Flickr, and on the internet, so I won't bore you by posting the numerous photos I took today of his bronzes found on the 14th Street, 8th subway station (A, C, E trains) on my way to the infamous meat packing district of Manhattan.

 

Titled "Life Underground," most figures represent life in NYC, but with a dark edge. Supposedly, the money bag heads on some of the figures alludes to the corruption that surrounded the building of the NYC subway system.
