About This Image

The title of this New York City rooftops print is actually a bit of an inside joke. On my first adventure in NYC, I took a number of tour bus rides around the city. One turned out to have a rather interesting guide.

Her commentary was offbeat to begin with, but then misfortune struck. There was a road block and she ended up on streets for which she had nothing prepared to say. Flustered as she looked out the windows of the bus, she uttered, ‘this is… this is… generic New York City…’

For the rest of my trip, this was how I addressed scenes like this, skylines, street scenes, anything that seemed like quintessential New York City would apply as an adjective became Generic New York City.

This particular art print of the New York City rooftops was not from a ride with that bus guide but it was from the top of an open air bus. And when I first added this to my print collection years ago, I had no idea where it was but it was so clearly New York City that ‘Generic New York City’ seemed apt. More recently I started hunting for where exactly this view of the New York City rooftops actually was. After a good deal of time looking at visual maps of Manhattan and pictures I had taken before and after it, I was finally able to identify this as the corner of 7th Avenue and 14th Street in the West Village. So, a long time personal mystery solved, but these old pre-war apartment buildings will always be Generic New York City to me.

Look at those cool water towers, the great architectural details of the different buildings, this is so utterly New York City that it practically bleeds Manhattan from every brick. Don’t you agree?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
