A few months back, my friend Adam shared a photo he'd taken while waiting for a train into Penn Station. The panoramic image, which was shot on the Rhinecliff Station platform, captured such an amazing portrait of commuters. I attempted to capture the same spirit in a drawing. To add some authenticity to this portrait, I used an Amtrak Empire Service - Eastbound Timetable as my canvas. It was a lot of fun.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Graham! It's interesting to me that this drawing has a 1960's feel - like a scene out of Mad Men (except that people are hold smart-phones instead of cigarettes:-)
