On the 2 Train (Wednesday, 7-8-09)

Lady on far right (looked like a nurse from her outfit) reading seemingly contently while her neighbor was sporting a more disagreeable train puss.

Another Camper and Dude with Orange Shirt (Wednesday, 7-8-09)

A few moments observing bench on the platform at Grand Army Plaza.

2 train, bro.

Another camper rocking a star wars shirt hanging with his dad on the 2.

Lotsa blond chicks on the 1. A number of them staring intently at what I believe was an ad on my side of the car, out of my range of vision. Had to exit abruptly at Houston so I didn't get a chance to check it out.

Balloons and Hidden Fros (Tuesday, 7-7-09)

1 train.

3 train.

Was imagining the kind of fro was being suppressed under that cap. A Juan Epstein or a Krusty the Clown?

Lonely Platform and Camper Crossing the Manhattan Bridge (Tuesday, 7-7-09)

As I exited the R at Atlantic-Pacific, a N train pulled in. The platform emptied into the N, leaving just me and another lone commuter at the end of the platform alone on the platform. D showed up shortly though, so I wasn't lonely too long.

Sleepy, red shirted camper heading to Manhattan on the D.

Fenster and Others (Monday, 7-6-09)

Reminded me of a junior high school classmate. He always had a large set of keys which clattered loudly during the frequent 7th and 8th grade handball games.

On the 3 train.
Quick characters on the platform Atlantic-Pacific and the R.

Monday Morning, 2-1 train (7-6-09)

Loved the hair.


On the 1.

Greenpoint Bound on Independence Day (Saturday, 7-4-09)

Walked to Carrol to get G, tommorrow it'll start running at 4th ave (and all teh way to Ft. Hamilton Pkwy for the rest of you) - woohoo. It was sitting in middle of platform as I walked in (being a short train). I booked to catch it, but was too late. Last thing I wanted was to just miss a G on a holiday weekend. Prepared myself for a long wait but wasn't too bad. G getsbad rep, but it ain't that bad.

Mother daughter cautionary tale on the G.

Muslim woman with son being partially eclipsed by woman with mad baggage.

On the B and R the Afternoon Before "Long" Weekend (Thursday, 7-2-09)

B to Dekalb.
R to Union Street. 4th of July on a Saturday = Jip.

3 Train (Thursday, 7-2-09)

Wth her camp bag.

Uptown, Mdtown, Beer, Brooklyn (Wednesday, 7-1-09)

Headed uptown after work to make a Shiva call on the UES. 1 train
to shuttle from Times Square to GC40deuce, and to the 6 to 86th street.

Afterwards some beers at the Wheeltapper near GC40Deuce. Midtown crowd but decent beer and nice garden to chill in. After a few back on 4 Brooklyn bound. Was tryng to raw someone with a happy face, not many people show that on the train, so I had to use some artistic lcense.

I was unhappy when the 4 train I was on terminated at Bowling Green. So we all got off and waited in the hot station for the next one going to BK.

Dug this dude's polo, not afraid to rock the collar up while he snoozed.

A Lovely Shade of Puke Orange on the 1 (Wednesday, 7-1-09)

On the 2.
Shirt with many colors of the technicolor yawn spectrum. Kinda liked it though, and the matching cap.

Look at me and a Ghost (Tuesday, 6-30-09)

Looking a little fresh bitchy art student but with some grey betraying the years.

Started with the old, pained looking man top of frame. When he left his ghost lingered over the rest of the riders in the car.
M train Atlantic Pacific to Union.

Seriously Injured at Franklin Ave (Tuesday, 6-30-09)

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.

On the 2 and 1 (Friday, 6-26-09)

Had an over the shoulder observer for this quick drawing on the 1 train (last page of the sketchbook). Got a nice smile and "nice drawing" as we exited together at Houston.

Wednesday, 6-24-09

On the 1.

2 young women chatting on the bench at chambers. The one on right was very animated and I kinda wish I had caught her in one of her more engaged poses.

Crowded planes of color on the 2.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiting for R/M at Atlantic Pacific.
