The plush pols of “City & State Takes Manhattan”
When we were setting out to create our first Manhattan special issue, we wondered: What’s the perfect offbeat way to represent the iconic, energetic borough?
Why, by transmogrifying some of Manhattan’s most prolific politicians into fuzzy, adorable hand puppets, of course! 3-D illustrator Rémy Trappier turned our wild idea into a reality – and we couldn’t have been happier with the results.
So without further ado, we present... the stars of “City & State Takes Manhattan”:
BOROUGH PRESIDENT GALE BREWER
U.S. REP. CAROLYN MALONEY
U.S. REP. CHARLIE RANGEL
CITY COUNCIL SPEAKER MELISSA MARK-VIVERITO
U.S. REP. JERRY NADLER
CITY COMPTROLLER SCOTT STRINGER
