Blue Tuesday (5-20-08)

I couldn't hear this guy through my blasting iPod, but he appeared to have a constant flow of curmudgeony comments about everyone who passed by.

Trying to stay composed and comfortable squashed between the trees.

Monday PM Rush (5-19-08)

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.

4 train (Monday, 5-19-08)

I'm pretty sure woman in middle gave me finger at some point.

She was attractive, but looked a bit beaten down by life, at least this morning. Guy in foreground had CRAZY slick hair.

Its Friday Afternoon and Someone Smells Bad (5-16-08)

On teh platform at GC40Deuce, catch some faint wiffs of an unpleasant odor, kind of a rotten fish, briney, vomitous industrial canal type deal.

Get on the last car of the 4. The smell has followed me. Could it be me? I smell my sweatshirt, definitely not, I still smell like Tide. I glance around and identify the source. Drunk as a skunk by the door a large mustached man gently harranging other riders who are trying to laugh him off (not him depicted above, by the time I saw him no drawing opportunity was teneable). Man was swaying in a bad way and I feared a disasterous heave was on the way. Luckily he stumbled (almost tragically) off the Train at Fulton before that could happen, likely to become the problem of an unfortunate car on the A train.

As everyone silently silently let out a collective sigh of relief.

Friday Morning (5-16-08)

Borough Hall, man, pay phone, big coffee.

Tough drawing as I was freestand drawing and she was getting suspicious.
He was a little tough to draw as he was bopping his head all over, must have been late for class at Rock and Roll High School.

Dude, You Thin you are Helping, But You Really Aren't - Thursday Evening (5-15-08)

There was a guy and woman standing next to me for teh ride - the guy who was taking notice of my drawing. He kept moving side to side, theoretically to get out of my way, but in fact he just kep screwing me up as part of his arm/shoulder wher einitially part of the composition. Oh well, I guees no kind deed goes unappreciated...

The edge of his arm is actually visible as a quick line cutting through the middle of this drawing.
Rocking out with the Green flashing wireless headphone.

This composition ende to quick, so I monstered it up....

Thursday Morning A to the 4 (5-15-08)

Fidgety teenager caught in a contemplative pose.

Big man with a baby face and lots of golden locks.A very Bumpy ride, was like the A was being chased by Rosco Pico Train...

Started on the Fulton platform, finished on the 4 drawing random folks....

Lady in Purple, Reading on the R (Wednesday, 5-14-08)

An interesting looking older lady wearing a rich Purple coat which played off her skin which had a coloration similar to that of Emperor Palpattine, but not in a bad way.

The Problem with the 6 Train is...(Wednesday, 5-15-08)

..no one ever stays put...

The guy on the left was my one constant. The bundle of chairs or art or whatever he was clutching seemed to anchor him.

Japanese tourist hipsters with offsetting button down striped shirts...

Her scarf left an impression as she fled the 6.

Guy on the left was as re faced and white haired as depicted. He stayed with me to Canal st. for my quick trip to Pearl Paint.

Lovely Wednesday Morning (5-14-08)

Quickie at High St.

Biggish hair on the A train to BWAY Nassau.

Fun again with hair on the 4 train.

Hip Chick on C Train Tuesday (5-13-08)

High St - Clinton Washington

Monday Evening (5-12-08)

4 ladies of different styles on the platform at GC40Deuce.

The hand rail allows for standing sleep on the 4 Train.


Freestanding drawing on the 2 train. Can be dangerous biz, look what happened to that dude's nose....

Heavily Armed at Fulton! (Monday, 5-12-08)

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.

Back from BK Friday Afternoon (5-9-08)

Looking for candy at the Borough Hall newsstand.

I don't know if it was the conversation guy on right was having with out of frame buddy or not, but something was ill affecting this poor woman...

Damn pole.

Stand still girl if you want to look good!

Its Raining, So I Gotta Pick up the Boy (Friday, 5-9-08)

Bushy hair and Beard with vest look, he missed his calling as a Sweathog I think...

This guy's look was out of control, he almost looked like 4 different people sewn together into some weird Frankenstein creation. His eyes were closer together though - that's just the fault of the seem.

Quickie on the BWAY Nassau - High street leg of the journey.
