newyorkette

I got a blank “magazine” with newsprint pages from the Muji store on 39th and 8th avenue (I am trying to stay away from that place!), and decided to use it with the permanent marker I bought there also to draw people while out and about.

So here are my first two subjects. First, a lady on the subway (shakey subway ride, so sorry about the jittery line), above. Then, below, a big guy in Bryant Park.

Both had the simple luck (or misfortune) to be sitting directly in front of me, oblivious to my presence. Not meant to be masterpieces, just very quick, surreptitious sketches meant to keep me drawing now that my day job has become rather overwhelming lately!

(Oh, and the dates are wrong, should be June 20th, not June 19th. I just hardly ever know what day it is.)
