She probably would have enjoyed seeing it. I wonder how many artists drawing on the subway, show their quick sketches to the stragers that they're sketching?

People enjoy the process. <BR/><BR/>Certainly better than the 'stealing your soul' click of a camera, and then scuttling off.Jack Ruttanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202365155540203592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16598992.post-66091073667808016212008-01-19T16:51:00.000-05:002008-01-19T16:51:00.000-05:00There is still some left of "Toronto the Good" I h...There is still some left of "Toronto the Good" I has been a couple years since I've sketched on the subway.<BR/>Maybe it's time! <BR/>Keep the sketches a comin'!Enzo Avoliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781113051733728457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16598992.post-865876213660894962008-01-16T11:53:00.000-05:002008-01-16T11:53:00.000-05:00Jack,Toronto subway cars can be a bit 'lurchy' but...Jack,<BR/><BR/>Toronto subway cars can be a bit 'lurchy' but sketching sure makes the time fly...<BR/><BR/>Clive,<BR/><BR/>Ah yes, you do bring that out in people ;) <BR/>I can be a bit self-concious when sketching...I don't always feel like doing it. Some people will get that sense that I'm drawing them and start staring at me, not to friendly-like. Of course I'm quickly looking back and forth from them and down at my sketch book (usually a smallish one but it is an unusual action to be doing on the subway)so they get the sense that something is going on...It can spoil my feeling for the process when they start staring back. It's not so 'candid' anymore. Maybe it's time to do a series of sketches of people staring at the artist. You know, really uncomfortable straight-ons... Then the next drawings would be the portrait of the artist with some sort of injury after the subject beat them up.

Always be ready to run. I've had a woman actually attack me with her handbag in the Peterborough bus terminal, an evil looking bastard grab my drawing and walk around the Gladstone hotel scrunching it into a rapidly diminishing ball and uttering threats against me, and narrowly escaped a mob howling for my blood in Bowmanvile who were convinced I was stealing their souls with my compressed charcoal stick.Clivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03157933440777720220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16598992.post-85511683423178396982008-01-16T10:44:00.000-05:002008-01-16T10:44:00.000-05:00How do people draw on a subway?
