More F Train (Tuesday, 4-14-09)

I see a weird yellow bag.

2 guys on the F Train (Monday, 4-13-09)

From West 4th to Smith 9th. In teh movie version, this guy'd be played by either Edward James Olmos, or maybe a made up Benicio Del Toro - whichever could get the toothpick action just right.

White haired Orthodox man in front of very yellow poster, and in talking about movies, more reminiscent of Lawrence Olivier in the Jazz Singer or maybe the dude who played Tricky Dick in Frost Nixon..

Carhart Jacket (Monday, 4-13-09)

After a few days of for some passover/good fridayness, back on the 3 train with a stomach full of unleavened bread and a black watercolor crayon in my pocket.

This guy was rocking the somewhat worn yet comfy looking Carhart jacket while perusing his paper.

Sleepy (Wednesday 4-8-09)

After 330am work and trip to jersey to push some product, took a dazed mid afternoon ride to Grand Army Plaza to pick up the boy at school and get ready for some Sedering. Sleep depravation makes me think its a month earlier.

Sleeping on a Brooklyn College Flatbush Ave. Bound 2 Train. Got lazy with the jacket pattern, but there were a lotta little squares.

Same train, brighter scarf, playing to pass the time.

Kid on the 1.

Hunched over on the 2 train (Monday, 4-6-09)

Hunched way over with cane, not sure if it was out of physical ailment, exhaustion, despair, or maybe a combination of factors, but things looked rough. He got off at Nevins.

Tried out a little collage action in corner which did not scan well, the red may have burnt it out a bit.

Long Ride Home (Friday, 4-3-09)

Green suit on the 1.

The uptown side at Chambers street, but the Uptown express rolled in and erased my composition so...

I found another one on the benches on my platform.

After a 2 drawing wait at Chambers, it was on to the 2.

Man with very dark, inset eyes grooving to some tunes, golf shirt just poking out of his green coat. Man with unique profile cutting a tough guy glance through the packed car.

Woman who was white as you could be with just a few hints of pink tones in her cheek, eyelids and lips standing at the focal point for the pressure building up to the mass exodus off at Atlantic Ave.

Quickie of young woman on the R who's bangs flew down sharply like daggers from an impressive bun a top her head.

Hungover on the 3 (Friday, 4-3-09)

After an early morning stint with my mom at the Griff's school for granparents' day, grabbed the 3 at GAP. Thought I was in the clear and there would no more consequence from last nights beers. But as I rode and drew, was starting to feel
like my subject.

THis guy rocking the lrg jacket. Used that l a while back in this logo i did for a startup urban clothing brand, don't think its the same dudes, but weird if its a coincidence....

1 train Chambers to Houston. Feeling a little better but the need for egg and cheese with Turkey Bacon on whole wheat toast.

B train, 4-2-09

Short guy looking a little P/O'd this morning.

Some Rudeness and a %uch Up (Wednesday, 4-1-09)

More crayon late that afternoon on the B train from West 4th. She was muttering about how she wanted to see the drawing when I was done. Wasn't really in a sharing mood, so when I jumped off at Dekalb she didn't get to see it. Sorry lady if you ever get here.

On platform at Dekalb waiting on the R/M.

Mucked thise one up. She had a very sof round drawable face and I made her look like a 2000 yr old mummy. And everything I did just kep making in worse. Damn you extra stop on the R train.

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.

Pale Guys, Earthtones, and a Sleeping Fat Guy (Tuesday, 3-31-09)

These guys certainly were pasty, the front guy's jacket looked borrowed from Herb on WKRP in Cincinatti.

Passed out busting out gut in its full glory.

Tuesday Morning on the 2-1 (3-31-09)

2 train.
Unfocused.

B-M (Friday, 3-27-09)

Jerky teenage kid w basketball talking smack (i think) with his buddies - dekalb to union on the M. They didn't exactly look like a force to be reckoned with, but when it comes to bball I've learned its a mistake to judge to quickly.

Riding the Manhattan Bridge (Friday, 3-27-09)

Picking up some quick gestures at Union street.

Grizzly old dude staring into the car as we ride the bridge into Manhattan. His grizzled features were quite a contrast to the bright blue fleece pullover he was wearing which looked as if it was given out free at a country club event.

D train rolling into west 4th street.

Ambiguous Relations on the 2 Train (Wednesday, 3-25-09)

Young woman sleeping on the 2, she slowly began leaning to her right and eventually landed on the middle aged guy next to her and popped awake for a second. His reaction was friendlier than you'd expect from such a sequence of events. After this repeated a few times it became clear that they had a relationship but I couldn't come to a conclusion on whether it was familial or romantic (not to judge but some creepiness if the latter - c'mon ami, don't hate).

Man who's hair seemed browner than most.

She was an amorphous scale of blue to grey tones, tried to break it down a little in my few moments on the 1.
