Spent the last few moments capturing this big hasidic man thumbing through tiny prayer book.

Chubby Necks and Pony Tails on the F Train (5-29-09)

Man with sleepy grimace and oddly chubby neck on the F in front of woman with golden orange pony tail. Drawing the silhouettes of legs in the background made me reference the intro sequence of catch me if you can in my head.

Another appearance of the pony tail on the left.

Green Coats and Strawberry Headphones 1-3-M (Thursday, 5-28-09)

Quickie on the 1.
3 train. got a little ill with the blue pen, punishing my poor moleskine.

3 very different ladies in a row.

quick sketch on the M from Atlantic Pacific to Union. The greyish of the new cars made her strawberry ice cream colored headphones pop in my head. They may have been lost in the orange, yellow, red, creamy colored Rs that also run this route.

Eyelashes on the 2 (Thursday, 5-28-08)

Wide set and enhanced, striking accompanied with the contrast between her very dark features and bright coral coat.

S#!t Juice on a Short R Train Ride (Tuesday, 5-26-09)

She looked like a contortionist.

So get on the R train at Atlantic-Pacific. It smells bad. I look around and can tell everyone else is thinking same thing. Look around for source, thinking its an unwashed individual, but no one can be found. Then notice section of conspicuously empty seats. A couple of them filled with dark murky liquid. What is that liquid? Yum. I got of at Union. Half the car got off and moved a car up.

Getting the Nudge on the F train from Smith 9th (Tuesday, 5-26-09)

Took care of some verizon biz in the AM and then hoofed it up the neverending escalators at Smith 9th for F to work.

Beefy dude with tight ringer tee, and it was a little chilly for shorts this morning, maybe he couldn't resist showing off his killer calves. In contrast, guy behind maybe slightly conservative in his dress for this brisk but still beautiful spring day. Also randomly carrying some kind of white construction rod.

Young guy fiddling with his DS. Constantly switching hands as if he was getting cramps from too much gaming. Semi whacked out homeless guy next to him kept nudging him and asking if we were at west 4th yet. When he exited, I started getting the nudge.

Thursday NIght 1-3-R to Uniion Street(5-21-09)

A couple of guys who looked like contractors just coming off a job gabbing it up at Chambers street.

Started with the yamulkah as it was so prominent, but later regretted not leaving more real estate for beard.

Young woman or teenage girl (i'm shitty at ages) whimsically holding bunch of reed like flowers. Also the big scarf was an interesting choice considering the heat of the day and the casual look shewas rocking with the rest of her outfit.

2 Train (Monday, 5-20-09)

Kids bouncing around the car.

Everybody all mushed up, but unfazed.

Wednesday Morning (5-20-09)

Interesting couple conversing on the 2.


Son of Mo-Dee, Kool that is.

Stylish suit and tie on the 1 from Chambers, rocking a handsome well syled, widow peaked mane which I couldn't decide whether was saying big baller of big cheesball. He was looking a bit like an older version of Don Trump jr.

Shiny Jacket and More (5-19-09)

Riding in on the 3.

Incredibly frail looking old man with scruffy grey puffs of hair and blue knit cap reminiscent of an ancient longshoreman.

1 train, grey haired lady with super shiny vinyl jacket and pink jeans. Musta been riding home from aquite a party.

Under the Influence of Spicy Cheese (Friday, 5-15-09)

...from Jana's friday afternoon cheese happy hour. A little burning feeling in my stomach to help my drawings along - 1 train.

3 train.

Slickster with a bit of a Pompadour going. I recognize him as another who makes a living in the vicinity of the Houston street station.

Man in black clinging, in claw-like fashion, to the pole.
