About Tom McAlister:
Tom McAlister (aka NYC ART STAR, www.nycartstar.com) is an installation artist residing in NYC. His proposed project is to partner with Out-Of-Home advertisers, Sharpie® brand permanent markers, KRINK® brand permanent markers, and Junobo® paint markers to install his INTERACTIVE art installation into the 190th Street A-Train Subway Station in Washington Heights, northern Manhattan and then watch the viewers run amok and EXPLODE THEIR CREATIVITY. THE FEELING OF IT HAPPENING.
About the 190th Street A-train Subway Station:
Situated in Washington Heights, northern Manhattan, 140 feet underground, the 190th Street A-train Subway Station is your stop to access the beautiful Ft Tryon Park and the Met's Cloisters Museum. With walls that have a curved tunnel bore look, the 190th Street A-train Subway Station still possesses all of its aesthetically captivating Wine Cellar and Roman Aqueduct inspired design as it did when it opened to the public in 1932. -
Fashion Conceptualist
The Other NY Apparel Co.
(Apparel & Fashion industry)
July 2004 — Present (5 years 5 months)
NY, FDNY, NYPD, NYCT, NYSD... How about FRBNY?! The Federal Reserve Bank of New York. They print the money after all!
Baseball cap. Blue. 100% cotton. Gold embroidery logo: FRBNY. "The baseball cap gives one the feeling of being a maintenance worker assigned to the FRBNY's deep-underground bullion vault -- moving gold bricks from 'cage country-A' to 'cage country-B' and getting gold dust on your hands and apron."
Knit winter skihat. Black. Gold embroidery logo: FRBNY. "The winter skihat gives one the feeling of being a maintenance worker assigned to the FRBNY's grounds crew -- shoveling the sidewalk and shifting around cars inside the VIP parking lot."
Depending on weather conditions, hand out either the FRBNY baseball cap or skihat to homeless men in the streets of NYC. -
