The Inside Story: Ah man, where do I begin. How he came to be is pretty simple- a friend asked me to draw him and I got interested. He has two black eyes, one from the Revolutionary War, and the other from 9/11. New York's crack up his chest and across his neck and face are a result of the constant stress his body is under. New York hardly sleeps, and LOVES his coffee. Drinks the stuff 24/7. Adores his baseball team, his culture, and his food. He can be brutally honest, which is where the "all New Yorkers are rude" stereotype comes from. Although he enjoys yelling at tourists. As for relationships, he's currently single and having the world. He doesn't really get along with any if the southern states, but he finds a friend in California.
