So if we can make this happen I think it&#8217;d be a good fit for us and a showcase of Rochester&#8217;s creativity,&#8221; said comic book artist and Hope Mountain co-creator Peter Lazarski.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Hope Mountain [Image: Peter Lazarski]\" rel=\"lightbox-fillinginmainstbusshelters\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rochestersubway.com\/images\/photos\/hope-mountain-01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-bottom:6px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochestersubway.com\/images\/photos\/hope-mountain-01.jpg\" border=\"1\" alt=\"Hope Mountain [Image: Peter Lazarski]\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI can&#8217;t tell you how excited I am at the proposition of getting more local artwork out on the street, and I hope you are too.
