One Lazy Sunday

    Woke up with a cold, but the weather was so nice I just had to go for a walk.  With the J out of service, I took the L to Union Square, where I drew my buildings as per usual, but also tried to add some people in.  A little more story telling from our point of view.

1 dolla, 1 dolla, soda, wata, 1 dolla

And the sun begins to set

On 14th st, walking back to 1st Ave

Last one before the sun disappeared and I went below ground

This past Sunday I met up late with the New York Urban Sketchers Group in Times Square.  The amount of performers is unreal.  Multiple Batmen and naked people all walked around with wads of cash taking pictures with tourists, while speaking with foreign accents.  Only in New York.

Yesterday I met up with the Weekday New York Urban Sketchers group on The High Line.  I made my way up to the new section of the park drawing along the way.  By the time I made it, I was tired of drawing, and plan to come back soon.  Otherwise a new building might be in my way.

Living Line to Line

A little bike ride down to the border of Bushwick/WIlliamsburg.  And then it started to rain.

Frack the Power

Today was the People's Climate March.  It was great to see all ages out for a cause that truly effects everyone.  While slow to get moving, it was only because over 300,000 people attended, 3 times what they thought.  I even read a news post that a few dozen Canadians even attend.  Not one for theatrics, I traded in my sign and chanting for my sketchbook and drew people and their signs while walking. Today was a great step in the right direction.
