Gothamist reader Daniel sent in some great pictures of Metrocard sculpture made by "Luis, the MTA booth attendant at the 110th St., Manhattan station on the B & C line." Here are a few more shots:

When they're not sleeping on the job, they're making "Metrocard Jesus"es.

Your MTA dollars at work.

Thanks for posting these! Unfortunately, according to Luis, the self-expression police at the MTA were none too happy, and they forced him to remove them from the booth. He is currently looking for other venues to display his work.

As stated in the flickr group, the MTA has since changed its mind and allowed the display of Luis's Metro Card Sculptures.
