funny cuz i have posted the answer 3 or 4 times already! lol not your response but that ppl dont look. maybe a new thread needs to be started, no sports theme tshirt tonight!
The "block" on the head of the thing in the poster appears to be the NYC Sculpture, Alamo(The Cube) by Astor Place, note the actual sculpture doesnt have wings like the poster.
Alamo (The Cube) is an outdoor sculpture by Bernard (Tony) Rosenthal, located on Astor Place, on the island of Manhattan in New York City. It takes the form of a black cube, 8 feet (2.4 m) long on each side, mounted on a corner. The cube weighs about 1100 kg (about 2500 lb). The faces of the cube are not flat but have various indentations, protrusions, and ledges. It is not widely known as Alamo, the name given on a small plaque on one corner of the base. Generally it is simply called The Astor Place Cube or The Cube.
Installed in 1967, it has since become a popular meeting place in the East Village. It stands in the middle of an intersection, across the street from both entrances to the Astor Place station of the New York Subway and the Cooper Union.
The Cube's distinguishing feature is that it can be spun on its vertical axis. One person can usually push it slowly with some exertion, and two or more people without trouble. Many people who move to New York consider turning the Cube to be a ritual signaling that they have "arrived" in the city. Sitting or sleeping in the shade of the Cube is also popular.
On March 10, 2005, the Parks Department removed the Cube for maintenance. The original artist and crew replaced a missing bolt, and made a few other minor repairs. A makeshift replica of pvc tubes named the Jello Cube in honor of Peter Cooper was placed in its stead. As of November 2005, the Cube returned with a fresh coat of black paint, still able to spin.
The identical Rosenthal Cube (officially titled Endover) stands on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan between the Michigan Union and the LSA Building. Rosenthal earned a bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Michigan. The cube was donated by the class of 1965 and was installed in 1968. The Rosenthal cube also rotates but its pivot is sunken into the ground, as opposed to the pivot of the Alamo, which is on a separate platform.

OK I can buy the block part, whats the main image mean...the Garfield head or whatever it is...
maybe the bird flew away with the cube and is going to drop it onto the cat before it eats him?
I know that the main character/head/creature thing in the poster is a reoccurring theme/character that Soto uses in a lot of his other art so is just kinda his signature character. If you check out his other work, his central theme or character always uses those smiley-type faces or round characters/faces. He also tends to place wings on things so that explains the wing on the Alamo(The Cube).
I signed up there when I heard about Joshua's Eddie Vedder Print. His first email said that forum would be selling his poster. So all that wanted a copy signed up on daveposters board. But it never happen. That's been a few month's ago!
i got a good feeling about these 2 shows, i think everyone is in for a big treat these 2 nights.....and i think these shows will beat the boston show, could be wrong, just have a feeling....
i got a photo shoot right now, but hopefully i'll be back in time for the start of the show!
ps calling long road and unthought known to open these shows....not sure what nights what though
