It could just be our love for duct tape, bright colors and NYC speaking, but we think we just might have a crush on Aakash Nihalani. He’s the fella who’s been sticking some very rad shapes around town since the summer. And if his recent Flickr updates are any indication, the cold isn’t slowing him down.

Nihalani’s all about “highlighting the unexpected contours” that the city’s had all along. This means you’ll find his work serving as platforms for subway musicians or emphasizing the brickwork we’d otherwise overlook.

Now, seeing Nihalani’s isometric additions to our way to work is one thing. (And a wonderful thing at that.) But seeing them from his point of view is another — check the statement on his official site:

People need to understand that how it is isn’t how it has to be. My work is created in reaction to what we readily encounter in our lives, sidewalks and doorways, buildings and bricks. I’m just connecting the dots differently to make my own picture. Others need to see that they can create too, connecting their own dots, in their own places.

Alright, it’s officially a crush now.
