We Have A Winner


This guy was a dream come true for drawing. He was on the train at 14th st and asleep in a way that I knew, like me, he was Brooklyn bound. I had an uninterrupted view for about 30 minutes. Result.

Love it!!! Missed seeing your little snippets of life Stephen. Visiting your blog was like catching up with a friend.

Holly- thanks for stopping by.

Lis- Thank you also, I'll have your message translated.

Divesh- The red you are seeing is Pelikan brown ink which I use via a ruling pen. Give it a go.

R Garriott- That has yet to happen but I'd certainly get a kick out of it if it does.

Sheila- Welcome back, sounds like you had something of an adventure, you should write a book.

I can almost hear him snoring! Nice one!

He was snoring which you don't get to often, but he woke up right on cue to get off on Franklin St. Clearly a man of subway sleeping experience.
