Shortly after moving to New York City in 2010, artist Brandon Sines combined his use of mythological creatures, pop icons, and made up characters into a completely new character called Frank Ape. Frank Ape is a Sasquatch who lives in New York City amongst the humans but without human restrictions. Frank has special super powers, that even he continues to discover as he is tested by the many challenges of life. Frank embodies positivity and equality, and cares about all living things. He believes in using imagination and play to "create your own universe," and inspiring other people and animals through thoughtful actions. Frank can be seen all over the world on any given day but it is New York City that he calls home.
