Last summer I went to The Met with the artists, Lapin and Veronica Lawlor. At one point, I noticed Veronica staring at an ancient print. I joined her and saw it was a painting of London rooftops and the chimneys had vegetables coming out instead of smoke. I turned to Veronica and said, “I’m going to steal that.” She laughed because she knew I wasn’t kidding. I finally found a use for the idea I procured. Little did I know it would end up on top of a food cart on Houston street.
