Fabio Peralta has turned the back seat of his yellow cab into an art studio for his passengers, and has commissioned thousands of works.
As soon as a passenger hops into his Crown Vic, Peralta, a 40-year veteran hack, hands the rider a pen and a stack of computer paper.
“I tell them to create art, any kind of art,” he said.
“I don’t care what it is. Whatever comes to their brain, I say.”
Passengers often hesitate at first.
But, incredibly, most put down the BlackBerry, pick up the paper and get to work as Peralta zips through and streets.
