It was Wah Kue...one of the first stores that carried the Gundam models in the early 80's. Last time he was open, about a month after 911 I went there and bought as many models as I could afford..I really liked the guy. Not sure of their fate, but the last time I was on Mott the gate was closed during business hours.

Consider Crap, and its relationship to people like you. In your case, and in a philosophical sense, You exist because your crap wants to make more of itself. Too bad it cant cut out the middle-man.

Thanks to all for taking the time out to discuss my Alien Case Mod. I'm enjoying both the criticism and the praise. IMHO you can't take art too seriously. Some may argue whether this case even falls under the category of "art" or just someone kitbashing a few model pieces onto a pc case.
The case for me was a spiritual cleansing, a way to keep my mind and my hands busy doing something I love (model building/computer building) in the days following September 11.
After I cleansed my Brooklyn apartment of WTC dust and debris, I found out I would have no telephone or DSL service for several weeks. To keep busy I casted, carved and painted this case. I made this case mod for myself, and no one else, as all artists should.
As I was building, my mind was free to wander and think of my childhood, and the good memories of magic and movies, imagination and inspiration.
The model store I bought the parts from on Mott Street in Chinatown was hard-hit physically and economicaly by the devastation at the WTC. I had been going to that store for 15 years, just a hole in the wall place with a friendly owner and rare model kits. He has closed his store after 25 years, unable to recover.
Take from this what you will, If you want to search for meaning in true art, you must to look inside the heart and from the eyes of the artist.
My art will not change the world, but it will change the way I see my world.
Peace Out.

Jealous, untalanted little fuck faces like you deserve to remain anonymous.
