Dreadlock Cowboy and Others (Monday, 9-27-10)

Bolo tie and all on the 1 train.

Reading, sacking out, on the R into Brooklyn.

Tuesday Morning (6-8-10)

Head down in book, could still notice the annoyance at the guy to her left sitting way to close and reading his paper in her direction on a half empty train. No matter as it got cozy on that 3 pretty quick.

Stocky older dude with streaked blacked silver and all slicked back and looking lie some sorta wiseguy. 'Cept he was reading AM New York or 1 of those free papers, if he was connected i'd a figured a daily news, or maybe a post....

Muggy Morning From Prospect Ave. (Tuesday, 6-1-10)

Dropped the car at the mechanic after long weekend working about oxygen sensors and related things. Doodled a sign at Prospect Ave. for a minute til the R rolled in.

On the R.

Funny juxtaposition of tiny kid next to big woman (no relation).

friday, Friday, FRIDAY (5-7-10)

Woman in semi-camo orange shirt on the 1.

Gabby girl with her antennae (her friend had ones too.) They moved on and I drew the reading woman in blue.

Kindlin' on the F (Monday, 3-8-10)

Woman on the F train passin g morning ride entranced by her Kindle, a device that always seems a bit awkward to me.

Woman Reading at Houston and People on the 2 as Well (Tuesday, 8-4-09)

Chambers Street Blue and Ladies on the 2 Train (Monday, 8-3-09)

Chambers street always makes me think of blue.

2 train.

Start Your Career in Music! (Tuesday, 7-21-09)

At the DMX school.

Slick dude, pink tie, 1 train.

Getting the Nudge on the F train from Smith 9th (Tuesday, 5-26-09)

Took care of some verizon biz in the AM and then hoofed it up the neverending escalators at Smith 9th for F to work.

Beefy dude with tight ringer tee, and it was a little chilly for shorts this morning, maybe he couldn't resist showing off his killer calves. In contrast, guy behind maybe slightly conservative in his dress for this brisk but still beautiful spring day. Also randomly carrying some kind of white construction rod.

Young guy fiddling with his DS. Constantly switching hands as if he was getting cramps from too much gaming. Semi whacked out homeless guy next to him kept nudging him and asking if we were at west 4th yet. When he exited, I started getting the nudge.

Wednesday, 3-11-09 - Brooklyn Bound

Waiting on the 1 at Houston, she had a pretty impressive hair bun.

Sweaty dude leaning back on the 1 and the the switch to the 2. The woman reading was lounging and reading in a posture more often observed in a parisian sidewalk cafe then on the 2 train to Brooklyn.

It seems as if looking over my drawings that the demographic of subway riders is heavily majority female. Never really thought about it but I have so many drawings which are all women - not the individual portraits maybe but when I do the group shot. Gonna investigate, maybe Dick Ravitch knows.

B train (Tuesday, 12-9-08)

Jason Schwartzman-esque sans mole.

Musta been really interesting the way he sustained the eyebrow height.
