More Charlie Card Portraits

YES! I have found the charlie card sketches that I lost in my grand move down the hallway, plus I did more yesterday. I am experimenting with doing tiny scenes vs. just faces. In this first one, I was just so enamored of this guy's giant, fuzzy hat with ears. We ended up getting out at the same stop and he asked me how it turned out. I showed him his portrait and told him about my sneaky charlie card portrait project and he, as he lit his cigarette, informed me that I would have to be sneakier. What an awesome human being.

I like some better than others, but my theory is: just make a lot of work and inevitably some of it will be good. Oh yes, and this last one that I will post was actually not a T rider, but rather a Greek statue from the MFA. I did this one just to see how my pen worked on the charlie card. It's kinda fun, right?

By the way,

This is my 50th post!

Hooray!

MBTA Portraits

I wrote in a recent post that I am starting a project in which I collect Charlie Cards (the tickets you use to get onto Boston's subways, busses, and water taxis), and stealthily draw people on the public transit.

Well, I have been drawing many portraits, but I can't find them at the moment because I just moved into a new room (same house though) and forgot where I put them. What I do have are the most recent three I drew. More to come!
