TOOFLY is an NYC-based artist, designer, and entrepreneur. Recognized for her hard and fluid style, as well as her “around the way girl” steez back in the early ‘90s, TOOFLY gained popularity in the graffiti scene as a teen because she was one of the only females who stepped up to paint in a male dominated scene. She empowered various women to follow suit, and, in 2007, co-founded an international female arts collective entitled YOUNITY. TOOFLY also runs a successful independent design company called STAY TRU, where she consults, designs, and develops urban art youth workshops. TOOFLY’s constant and active role in the community allows her to remain true to her roots as she continues to draw raw feelings from the ever-changing world around her. TOOFLY’s work can be found in various galleries, art, design, graf, and fashion publications, and books such as Graffiti Women and Graffiti the Next Level. 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. Over 150 of the World's Leading Artists and Designers have come together to celebrate the New York City Subway Centennial with Tag the System NY. Each artist was given a blank subway car, and asked to lend their own creative style and vision to designing their own unique interpretation of a New York City Subway Car. The cars, almost 2 foot wide, were designed by Klim K and manufactured by Drastic Plastic. The artists participating include a very diverse set of styles, from old school to current grafitti artists, to comic and animation artists, to sculptors and even traditional companies including Nike and the Mattel Hot Wheels Team.
