awwwww i'm so glad you're doing this. it makes me smile and think why does everyone who doesn't live in nyc hate new yorkers when they are really the sweetest, creative, artistic people i've ever known? you know i keep hearing the old nyc is gone, and i was lucky to have lived there when it still was, but little acts like this brings the romance of new york back for everyone. *mwah* big thank you to you! wish i could be drawn by thou-- may be one day!
I don't know HOW I found this blog, but I am so glad that I did !
Unique idea to sketch everyone in NYC !
I looked at all the sketches and am addicted now ! Daily I return for my "fix" and check to see if there are any new pics you have drawn.
I live on the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio, so no one would ever do anything as neat as thiis idea here ! Good luck and keep drawing. I enjoy everything you post.
I am trying to draw every person in New York. I will be drawing people everyday and posting as frequently as I can. It is possible that I will draw you without you knowing it. I draw in Subway stations and museums and restaurants and on street corners. I try not to be in the way when I am drawing or be too noticeable. Whenever I have a new batch of drawings I will post them on this blog. If you would like to increase the chances of a portrait of YOU appearing on this blog please email me (art@jasonpolan.com) a street corner or other public place that you will be standing at for a duration of two minutes (I will be on the corner of 14th street and 8th avenue on the North-east corner of the street from 2:42-2:44pm this Thursday wearing a bright yellow jacket and navy rubber boots, for example). Please give me more than a 24 hour warning and please make it a scenario that is not too difficult for you to accomplish (the corner outside of the store you work at during lunch time, or in front of a museum you were going to go to on a Saturday) because I may unfortunately miss you and do not want you to have to invest more than 2 minutes of your time in case I cannot make it. You may or may not see me drawing you during this time. If I do draw you, you will see yourself (or rather, a drawing that hopefully somewhat resembles you) on this blog that evening.
When the project is completed we will all have a get together.
