City Wide

These are just a few from a journal project I've been working on the last few months. I've got a box full of drawings from the last year that I've been scanning when there is time. Its a big box, about 1000 drawings. I like to stockpile like that then just throw out the junk later. The drawings are mainly of random city stuff and street scenes from around New York, so for now I'm calling it CITY WIDE. It's kind of like SPREE but with some color and with fewer pictures of people drinking beer.

WOWSAS! Doug, these are so awesome. i love it all, the warped wheel and man napped in a slouch...and i love how you colored the the crosswalk scene on the bottom. it's really working. all of it is SUPER inspiring. (especially the idea of a box of a thousand-plus drawings collecting for the right moment. can't wait to see what comes of city wide...
