While we were walking we saw the view down Pell Street in Chinatown. I knew this would be a great place to sketch. It was a pedestrian-free zone but crammed full of fun things. Suzala, Leslie and I took over a small spot on the sidewalk in the center of a wild assortment of signs, hanging lanterns, people, tables and chairs, fire escapes and all kinds of craziness. I loved it! There was a constant flow of people passing by and looking at what we were doing. A passing storm as we were finishing made us scurry to pack up and head for a little bit of shelter from an overhang, but we all captured the energy of the location.
Suzala took a photo of us working.
This was the view after the rainstorm. We had been sitting on the sidewalk on the right.
