Being the passover shlepper that I am, had to run uptown after work to check the rents mail whilst they frolic in the holy land. Woman in bright pink puffy jacket amongst the riders of the uptown 5 train.
Back up at 86th street (Lexington) waiting on my ride back to the BK.
Young guy with the big khaki bag undoubtedly full of all sortsa fun stuff.
Hanging around the pole on the uptown 5.
Actually started on the R from Union
5 from Atlantic. This guy was focusing on something far on the distance, like he could see beyond.....
...to the train ahead, where a sick passenger caused our 5 train to be rerouted to 7th avenue. Which did a nice job emptying the car. These teenagers unfazed as they hunched over there handheld gaming devices.
Decided to stay on and just hoof it
east once i got off.
Waiting at Bergen.
Once I got on the 2 all sortsa screwy things started to happen. Stop, starts, announcements about alternate routes to teh east side and the bronx. Some sort of serious accident at Franklin ave, with all that was happening sounded like death. At Nevins my 2 turned into a 5 and I had to hop acroos the platform for the next one.
Eventually made it to the 1.
Expressive couple on the High Street platform, 10 seconds later they were fondling each other...
She probably wasn't into new wave, but it did bring me back to '85....
Woman sundress reading on teh Fulton St, platform. She had her moth gaped open in a funny way, like she was thinking about something odd and it was subconciously translating to her expression...or maybe she was trying to catch flies froggy style.
Recently permed....
Young man in green reading on the 5.
Quick pose and then she was gone....
Hmmmmm....
Woman with giant purse on High Street platform as if she was just coming back from weekend away in Brooklyn Heights.
Slim young woman in big sweater working hard on a Rubik's cube....
...from underneath her eye contact avoidance hair...
...with bike seat in the foreground.
This kid with an impressive fro got on at Union Sq or BK Bridge and made himself busy entertaining a young lady friend....
..moving down the car and rocking the shades.
Word.
I saw this guy on the street a few minutes after exiting the train. I had an urge to show him the drawing, but he just passed on by.
Lotsa tired folks taking midday siestas....
My man was col' sprawled out...
There was a dude on my car who I think had Turrets as he was repeating everything that came over the PA. We had to switch trains at BK Bridge and he disappeared on the platform.
Switched to 3 at Nevins, this guy was eyeing the noisy teenagers at other end of car disapprovingly.
2 back from Eastern Parkway.
This guy was still sleeping when I got off at Clark St.
This guy was getting ill with his yellow hilighter on the paper he was holding.
This woman had very distinctive glasses and even though her hair was done much differently, I instantly recognized her and had to catch a quick sketch before jumping off at GC40Deuce. The first drawing of her was from a May 16th entry, the second drawing.
Platform got pretty jammed up by the time the 5 arrived, everyone was keeping there head down as if the weight of the crowd was bearing down on itself.
Someone had the courage to look up, although he just seemed to be staring off into space...
Fun hair but a very severe reading expression.
Another shot of fun-hair-severe-reading expression in the foreground. Woman behind with green coat seemed to offset her tension with a very rounded, relaxed presence.
Few minutes between trains at GC40Deuce so it got a little cozy on the platform.
She had a little fuzzy puppy she was tending too...
Another straphanger with a some sleep standing skills.
When I got to Fulton st. there were several heavily armed cops with m16s. Had a few seconds to sketch one as train rolled in. Didn't see Osama though.
Reading paper from BK Bridge to Union SQ.
Started this drawing with guy in left mid ground, as he was a great caricature and spread out. Guy in foreground could used a little neck grooming. Maybe I'll try and sell this as an ad to Schick.
