Fernando Carlo Jr. Cope2 and NYC Subway Graffiti Legacy
Fernando Carlo Jr., known worldwide as Cope2, began his graffiti journey in the South Bronx in 1978, writing his name on the walls and train cars of New York. His rise to prominence came through decades of prolific output on subways and urban structures across the five boroughs. Cope2 developed a distinct visual language centered around energetic throw-ups and bubble letters that have become icons of the NYC graffiti scene. His authentic raw style has been instrumental in defining what modern graffiti looks like in both the United States and abroad. His work transitioned from street walls to galleries, making Cope2 one of the few artists to successfully span the underground and mainstream art worlds without compromising his street roots.
Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Meets Collectible Design
The Beast Train is more than a toy; it is a sculptural homage to graffiti's foundational connection to New York City’s MTA trains. This street pop art and graffiti artwork piece celebrates the movement’s original canvas—rolling steel. Designed by Cope2 and distributed through Hip Hop Toyz, the product comes fully painted with lights and sound, capturing the essence of a live, mobile art installation. Each side of the miniature train features Cope2’s vibrant handstyle, rendered with authentic detail on a metallic base, echoing the same tones and tags that once traveled across NYC in real time.
The Beast Subway Train Car: Where Art, Culture, and Collectibles Collide
This 2023 release marks a moment where street art history is made tangible through collectibility. The Beast Train sits at the crossroads of urban history, art object, and nostalgia. It reflects a dedication to preserving graffiti’s heritage through new formats accessible to collectors and art lovers alike. With its certified limited edition status, this piece stands as a reminder of graffiti's transformation from a public movement of anonymous expression to a respected genre within contemporary art. Cope2’s decades of commitment to graffiti culture continue to resonate through pieces like this, reminding the world that the train is not just a mode of transit, but a moving gallery of rebellion, energy, and identity.
