New York subway metro tickets and maps are an integral part of commuting the Big Apple.

But the idea of turning Metro cards into Visual art and NFT art is ingenious.

That’s exactly what KnifeNFT.NFT has been doing, by cutting them up and meticulously pasting them into poignant individual portraits of NY and world legends.

His ingenious and absolutely unique Metro Card NFTs collection is now live on OpenSea.

Even Jean Michel Basquiat would have been impressed by this innovative approach to visual art.

KNIFENFT.NFT has vividly captured 46 cultural legends in his Metro cards Nft collection,

“Jean Michel Basquiat, Tupac Shakur, Charlie Chaplin, Prince and many others”

So I caught up with the visual artist himself on Twitter, the chosen digital public forum for NFT artists.

Web3ArtBlog.Nft: So how did the idea of turning New York city subway metro cards into NFTs come about?

KNIFENFT.NFT “Im trying to tell a story of Voyages, using the worlds most recognized transportation system in the world , nyc is the land where migrants fled to seek refuge and its also the destination of the Slave ships and global culture”

Web3ArtBlog.Nft: ” There is such emotion in your subjects, for example Jean Michel Basquiat. You captured his eyes and facial expressions with so much soul that one feels as if he were literally there. How do you accomplish such an artistic feat?”

KNIFENFT.NFT: “Ive been an artist since i was 6 years old and ive taught myself how to tell my story via my art and how to direct the viewers eye to the core of the piece by telling my story with the media i choose or by the subject”

WEB3ARTBLOG.NFT : “In the Muhammad Ali portrait you capture the fighter with a bloodied right eye and a clear left eye, just like he was there flying like a butterfly and stinging like a bee. How do you choose your subjects? What role do those subjects have in inspiring the artwork?”

KNIFENFT.NFT : “All my subjects in this collection have onething in common aside from their profession, they have all dedicated their life to activism and changing the world for the better.”

WEB3ARTBLOG.NFT : Ladies and gentlemen The Metro Card NFT collection is now live on OPENSEA. Go and support this amazing artistry.
