NYC's Potato Peeler Grafter Dead

Joe Ades used to sell potato-peelers at Union Square. He died at the age of 73 on Sunday. The man's Manchester accent and grafter's sales pitches were mesmerizing and I have stood, listening and admiring his technique on many occasions whenever I would encounter him. He would sell on the edge of the veg market without a license, and he was sometimes chased away by security guards. He sold at other locations at Herlad Square, Radio city and in Brooklyn. He lived in a posh apartment on the Upper East Side with his wife, until she died last year. He was a salesman his whole life and had four wives throughout.

Christoph Niemann is an illustrator that publishes in the The New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times Magazine and American Illustration. He did the drawings for a book that teaches kids to recognize Chinese characters called "The Pet Dragon."

These LEGO sculptures of New York City are inspired by the toys in Niemann's children's toyroom in Berlin, where he lives now with his family, and reminisces about the city he left.
