EMPIRE STATE APE (NEXT STOP 34TH-HERALD SQ.)

Created, sculpted, and produced by Bigshot Toyworks, the All-City Style Train was tremendously popular when we first introduced it in 2005. Supported by multiple custom shows in New York, San Francisco, London, Paris, Moscow, and Melbourne, the All-City Style Trains were embraced by both the graff community and the designer toy community as an excellent platform figure for artists of all styles. At 20" long, it's a large canvas...and with connector pieces included to join two trains together, it provides the artist with a lot more room to work than the average platform toy. P!Q Store in New York is an art toy and collectible store located in Manhattan, specifically in the NoHo neighborhood. This store is a physical extension of the larger P!Q brand, known for offering a curated selection of designer toys, limited-edition figures, art prints, and other collectible items. P!Q New York caters to art toy enthusiasts, pop culture fans, and collectors who appreciate unique and exclusive art products. Evil was born in 1991, when one of MCA’s favorite entertainers, Pee Wee Herman (Mr. Paul Reubens), was arrested in an adult movie theater. Agitated by the absurd way in which Reubens was demonized by the media, MCA manipulated his mug shot, added devil horns to his head, and sarcastically wrote the word “Evil” beneath it. He printed up T-shirts and stickers with this image and began distributing them in and around Boston: Since then, Evil Design has spread throughout the world. If you picked up Kid 606’s critically acclaimed CD The Action Packed Mentalist Brings You the Fucking Jams, or own a T-shirt from Weezer’s Pinkerton world tour, or from Mission of Burma’s initial string of “Inexplicable” reunion shows, then you’ve seen his work. MCA has also made a name for himself in the gallery world over the past few years. Aside from his highly successful collaboration show “Destroy You, NYC – MCA + MAGMO” at Orchard Street Gallery in Manhattan, he also recently had a solo show (“Simian Nation”) in Boston at The Lab as well as taken part in a three man show (with Abe Lincoln Jr. & Ethos) at the Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago to name just
