New York City
This past weekend I went to the lovely New York City. What a treat it was. I got to see so many familiar sites and some terribly wonderful people. Here are just a few of the sketches.
Union Square
Saturday, my friend Brigham and I took to Union Square. There, we came across those rambunctious protesters. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate people sticking it to the man but their failure to convey a decent Economic model left me apathetic to their enthusiasms. Brigham said they were just a bunch of dinguses. I think the pigeons agreed.

Brigham on the phone (arranging our plans to watch The Sting at the Jersey Loews)
Sunday, I went to church
Union Square 3rd Ward
Monday was a very special day. Jeffrey and I set out into the city armed with nothing but sketch books, pencils, and baseball mitts.
Brooklyn Bridge
After we finished our drawings, we played catch in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. We talked about the city, Washington Roebling, and our career goals.
Times Square
Central Park
After this sketch, Jeffrey and I brought the mitts out once again. We talked about cars, women, and baseball.
It was a lovely trip. Truly, New York has a most special place in my heart. And though I love the landmarks, the history, and the sass - the thing that makes it precious to me are my dear friends. Some were kind enough to pose for some blind portrait drawings.

Til next time, New York. Til next time.

John
For an assignment, I was asked to draw someone from memory, so I decided to draw my coworker John. I've never seen John wear overalls and I'm pretty sure he doesn't ride the bus... but try explaining that to my hippocampus.
A blind contour of John.
