See Abdow's Big Zombie Boy

The Underbelly Project: Illegal Secret Subway Art in NYC : WebUrbanist:

It’s “an elusive pirate treasure of contemporary art” – an abandoned subway chamber under Manhattan that was illegally opened for a year starting in 2009 to allow 103 select artists to paint for one night each. Then it was sealed off from the world, the original entrance to the station removed. The Underbelly Project is a mysterious urban art experiment that seeks to subvert the commercialism that has overtaken much of the street art scene.
Was the Big Boy Abdow's where you grew up? It was in the Northeast, but I recall seeing the Big Boy with another name in front of it somewhere along the line.
