Oops, Wrong Train (Friday, 8-14-09)

Stepped over to 7th avenue friday morning to grab the B, had to meet up with friend at west 4th. Unfortunately there was an old Q masquerading as a B. By the time I noticed I was walking from Union Sq.

7B (Wednesday, 4-1-09)

Platform at 7th Ave/Flatbush.

Drawing in black crayon getting all over itself. The woman on left was dozing and slowly collapsing over, which is always more fun so was bumbed that I had captured her the duller mostly upright position.

BLEECHHHHHHHH (Friday, 12-19-08)

Gross, slushy, sleety, trip to midtown. Fall was taking one last opportunity to shit all over us.

Had to let the 1st train go at 53rd 5th ave station, said goodbye to these folks waiting for V as I boarded the E.

One stop to catch Brooklyn train at 7th ave.

Two Russian ladies talking. Thought her hat was gonna birth Mothra. It had sparklies on it too...

At 4pm B car already packed with platforms running deep, people fleeing the inclement yet

not disaster movie weather.

Things, as usual mellower on the R.

Wednesday Morning (12-17-08)

Kid and nanny waiting for the train at 7th ave.

There's lotsa fur appearing on the train these days. On the B it was hard to tell here where the hair ended and the fur began.

Muggy Morning (Wednesday, 12-10-08)

Don't know why this woman at 7th ave was wearing all that gear, it was fuckin' 62. Igot sweat pits just drawing her.

Crowd on tehe B til Dekalb.

It cleared out for teh ride across teh bridge and everyone got comfortable.

Just reading a book, alhough I got the impression he may have actually been plotting evil schemes of world domination.

Black Yamukahs on the B (Tuesday, 12-2-08)

7Av station.

Reading against the wall of dark coats.

I felt kinda bad for this guy as I kinda stole his spot by the door when i got in. He kinda stood there for a second, looked hurt and then moved over to the other side of the car and started playing with his phone.

Bad News for the B (Wednesday, 10-29-08)

Got down to 7th ave platform and could tell tehre was trouble. The usually placid station was 5 or 6 deep with sour faced straphangers. A few trains went by before anyone managed to squeeze in. After teh woman below moved off, I couldn't get into anyone else. On train it was sardine city and I couldn't get against the door, so I just put on angry punk rock and bore teh trip.

Waiting a While at 7th Ave (Tuesday, 10-14-08)

Waiting for the train at 7th Av I was wondering where she was going to work. Somewhere on teh Q I guess, I was stuck waiting for the B.

Still waiting started in on these guyys, guy on left was unfortunately kind of fidgety but cap and glasses dude was nice and still until the B arrived.

And of course after such a wait teh B was a flowing mass of humanity all stretching up to grab something to hold on to.

7th Ave and B (Thursday, 9-26-08)

Dude with light Adidas jacket on the platform at 7th ave. Kinda reminiscent of me but I usually wait ten more degrees before I start rocking mine.

Doing her bio reading on the B.

Trenchcoat Days are Here Again (Monday, 9-22-08)

Lamenting the disappearing summer demonstrated by the appearance of a trenchcoat on the platform of the 7th ave station.

Trenchcoat lady in front of curly mcgrimace on the B.

Slumped over man was a good draw, but his back and forth shifting was making drawing the woman behind him difficult and made her relationship to her reflection tenuous at best.

Friday is Knitting Day on the B (9-5-08)

Waiting on the B at 7th ave.

Reading through big dark glasses on the B. She kept shifting her position ever so slightly - made me draw her a little stiff...

Rude Boy (not really) with bright yellow shirt taking care of a little knitting on the way in to the city.

From 7th Av (Wednesday, 9-3-08)

Riding the bench at 7th ave, waiting on the B, next to tall woman with hot pink accents.

With the wife after we dropped off the Griff, second day of Kindergarten, so just had one stop to draw after she hopped off at Bway Lafayette.

School Registration and Long Ride Back on the F (Wednesday, 7-2-08)

Another morning ride on the R with the Griff to Union st to register for Kindergarten.

After a difficult drop off at camp in the park grabbed the F at 7th Ave.

She was staring at me for a while which was unnerving. I guess I know how she felt. I need invisibility power.

Young woman with bleached hair showing off her collar bones.

Family trip on the F, there were some extended family members sprinkled around the car.

Get the F@#! OUTTA MY WAY!...im trying to draw (Monday, 4-28-08)

Rode home on the 1-3 combo from 50th St. and 7th Ave. For some reason whenever I started something, invariably someone would hop right in the way. Who says New Yorkers aren't rude anymore...

Waiting at 50th st for the 1.

Switched Up at 40Deuce Times Square for the 3. Started drawing the lady in the burbery hat, and der, this guy lanks in right in front of me, totally oblivious to the fact that art is happening.

Finally got a small window of clear shot. The big guy on the right hulked over teh 2 women in a size contrast that reminded me of old marvel comics covers - like the Thing and MRS. FANTASTIC.

This guy was geting real serious with his book while young woman next to him was banging around with her PSP...

Riding Home Down 7th Ave (Monday, 1-28-08)

Shuttle-2 Train combo home as I had to deal with street cleaning rules...
It was late, so I had a bit more than the usual 20 seconds on the Shuttle to Times Sq. The pole was really leading to some distortion on this lady.

This was actually a composite of 2 girls, one got off after a few seconds, but was luckily replaced by another quickly.

Started drawing woman on the left, but she bolted next stop. Continued with girl on right and then she jumped ship the following one, although I think she was trying to pose for me while she was still there. She tried to catch a peak over my shoulder as she exited.

This lady was really into her book and seriously macking on her Jamba Juice
