This is a Mascot I made for the the New York Anime Fest contest of 2009. Her name is Mechan (pronounced Meg-gan)
When I think of NY I think of the MTA subway system. Though its not an obvious thing like the statue of Liberty. I feel as a NYer, we depend on the subways to get us to our destination arround the city, and for many of us, we would use it to get to the NYAF. Its is an important part of the city and links other boruoghs together. Its also enviromentally friendly too. Mechan like's the subway.
