It took artist Alan Wolfson eighteen months to create this intricate world in miniature. He was inspired by a model of the Paris Opera House that he saw at the Musee d'Orsay. I'm glad he got inspiration from it; I saw the same model and liked it very much but as usual was not inspired to create anything.
I decided to do something similar, but did not want it to look like an architectural model with cross-sectional views. I came up with a street scene with views into the bar ('Subway Inn'), and down the subway entrance. You can also see into a slightly open window at the fire escape, which looks into a dressing room. The main interior view is into PEEPWORLD, a fictional 'porno palace,' similar to those which existed before Mayor Giuliani cleaned up the neighborhood, and before Times Square was developed into the family-friendly theme park environment it is today.
