NYC TAXI DRIVER HAS PASSENGERS CREATE ART WHILE IN CAB

TAXI COMMISSIONS: Fabio Peralta shows off a recent addition to his collection of works by back-seat drawers. Among the more impressive doodles is a presidential portrait and "endorsement" signed "Barack Obama."
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.
