Black and White

Recently I snuck in a few black and white sketches. This was done last weekend on the train going into Manhattan.

Yesterday I was meeting two friends in Bronxville for lunch. Bronxville is about 60 miles from me but can take anywhere from 1 1/4 hrs to 2 hrs to get to, so I always leave with time to spare. I got there early so I sketched what was immediately in front of me while I was sitting in my car. This is a continuous line drawing.

My friends ended up calling to say they were running a little late, so I told them to call when they were almost there and went off in search of a better location to sketch (and that had parking). This is what I found. I had about 25 minutes to sketch this.

Gowanus 2 & Inktober 2018 Day 2

As I said yesterday the area near the Gowanus Canal is pretty gritty and industrial. There are some buildings that have been abandoned and graffitied. Some of the structures are weathered and worn and have seen better days like this waterpower that doesn't seem like it will be standing much longer.

Yesterday afternoon I met a friend for lunch and parked in a lot by the Bronxville train station. When I got back to my car there was a ticket on the windshield for an expired inspection sticker. I didn't realize that it was due..it was only October 1st. I swear in the past Nissan sent me a reminder, but if they did I must have overlooked it. So this morning I was at Nissan to have the inspection done so I wouldn't get a second ticket. Since I was at Nissan for an oil change a little over a week ago sketching the inside of the waiting room seemed old, so I sketched the view into the showroom this time for my Inktober Day 2 sketch. #inktober #inktober2018
