My Own Private Wolfenstein


John Jacobsmeyer is kicking ass and taking names... a sneak preview of his epic creation "My Own Private Wolfenstein"!


see more of John's work here!

Big things are made of small packages...




Charis Carmichael Braun, another repeat Single Fare rider, gives a glimpse of an amazing project she was involved in with her Church and the Sure Foundation. Made on over 400 metrocards, the piece was done as part of the Sure Foundation's 10th anniversary. This "Fellowship Mosaic" artwork was created as a celebration of the faith, community, and life of the Sure Foundation.

You can find out more about the project here and here.

She also is mid production on a trio of beautiful metrocards to include in this year's show, pictured below.

Mr. Sherief has an eye for detail!


Abraham Sherief is the master of detail and loves super small brushes. What better way to show off his super slick skills than on a super small canvas... the metrocard. A great and exciting addition to Single Fare 2... these cards will blow your mind when you see them in person.

The Race is ON!


Following on the heels of his "Apocalypse Now" film-abstraction from the 2010 show, Single Fare Co-Founder Jean-Pierre Roy releases the first image from his new 30 painting series from THE seminal piece of Post-Apocalyptic cinema. Any guesses?

Hell Yeah Hamill!


Our next door studio neighbor and painter extraordinaire Jane Hamill emailed us this teaser photo this morning...




Looks like Ms. Hamill is gearing up for something pretty huge for Single Fare 2!

Jane created ten amazing MetroCards as part of Single Fare 2010, they were super popular and sold like hot cakes within the first few minutes of the opening!

Here is an example of Jane's work from Single Fare 2010, expect big things from her again in Single Fare 2: Please Swipe Again!
