The story behind NYC Garbage:
Justin Gignac is a New York City based artist and entrepreneur. He began selling garbage in 2001 after a co-worker challenged the importance of package design. To prove them wrong, he set out to find something that no one would ever buy, and package it to sell. Looking around the dirty streets of Times Square, garbage was the perfect answer. Twelve years later, over 1,400 NYC Garbage cubes have been sold and now reside in 30 countries around the world.In addition to original New York City Garbage, Gignac has also produced a number of limited edition cubes. Past editions include: The Republican National Convention, the World Series at Yankee Stadium, New Year’s Eve in Times Square, the NY Giants Victory Parade, the first day Gay Marriage was legal in NYC, Obama’s Inauguration and St. Patrick's Day in Dublin, Ireland.
Justin resides in SoHo with his wife, Christine, where they keep busy by creating paintings for Wants For Sale and Needs for Sale. He is also the co-founder of Working Not Working, a site that pairs ad agencies and companies with the Universe's best freelance creatives.
