Dear Art Educators,

Here is an artist to inspire your students - Tom Otterness.

Bronze cast figures - whimsical.

SergioLora pointed him out to me. I had missed this New York Times article:

Slide show of many graet works along the subway.
An alligator up from the sewer and it's no urban legend. (It's subway art.)

Here are many of his works from Life Underground:
