She was originally accompanied with male companion who exited at Nevins, probably to catch the 4. Was digging her hat and suede jacket. There was also also a bit of mystery about her as she never showed any eyes.
2.
1 train. Arrived at 9:02 - door to door in 30 mins not bad - , but meeting cancelled. All the adrenalin from rushing in made me very aggressive until 930 or so.
Some Euro-ish looking tourists debating directions on the 1.
2 train.
Guy on left with furry rimed hat chewing a little gum, i've yet to perfect capturing a good gum chew in a still frame.
Had only one quick stop but captured the big collar and tough guy look i wanted.
Trying to catch the pacing commuters on Union street platform.
Woman with awesome, big, fun, curly hair waiting on the D at Atlantic Pacific.
Huddling up on the D.
Ah-ha, there she is again. After the short sketch on the platform, I was goping to catch another drawing of her. With her crazy big hair, fur collar and pristine white coat and matching head band she definitely had the air of thinking she was the shit.
Nice to have a big hood to take refuge...
...on a crowded, hectic train.
He got off the 1 too quick, so he got turned into a squid.
Just drawing and then woman with red coat, boom, right in the way.
No matter how i tried, just couldn't get that whole hat in frame. It just kept going.
The guy in the front with the headphones was the bane of my 2 ride. He just couldn't stay still for a sec, like my kids and nephews at our many attempted family photo shoots.
Glorious spikey, frosted head of hair. Headphone guy was originally in frame but bounced his way out. You can see the beginning of his arm above dude's hat.
One stop on the M, again with some folks running much visual interference, sorry ladies.
Late morning rides let you kick back and relax on the F.
Nervous.
Praying to the gods of Asgard.
Woman with shiny dead thing on her head.
Another crutch bearing straphanger, but her shmatta really let everyone know that wasn't getting her down.
Talking gleefully about the unemployment situation, 1 train.
Griff with bowling anticipation.
Elderly lady ignoring us and griff's antics.
Woman with Red hat.
Man with one leg and crutch, slumped over in the corner of the car.
F train Jay Street to 4th Ave.
Reading on the platform at Union Street. My neighbor appeared shortly thereafter, so we shot the shit into the city sans any additional drawing.
Houston street garbage can and peoples flowing into the 1 train.
Close quarters on the 2. Guy next to me talking mad loud about tattoos doing his best RZA.
Heads down at Union Street.
Bench at Atlantic Ave.
Just sacking out on the 2. She didn't just doze off either. She adjusted herself to get as comfortable as possible as if taking a mid afternoon nap on her couch with her dogs up on an ottaman.
Loosey at Chambers street.
Guy reading on the one, trying to draw around a guy who, on a nerly empty car, decided he needed to stand between me and my subject for the last 2 stops. I think he got a sense that he was in the way somehow, but instead of just clearing out he bounced around and remained in my way one way or another.
a few secs waiting at Atlantic.
Bad posture for paper reading.
Jacket wasnt so pukey green, but all i had to color were the whiteboard work markers. It was more of a pale army.
Better reading posture.
Checkered scarf, 1 train.
Women at Chambers as the 2 rolls in.
Woman with Pink glasses and a bit of a strange intense grimace, which almost made me a little fearful of drawing her as it could be snapped out at me with a vengance.
She sat down, looked just a bit more settled and my fear was gone.
