Dressed for the plains (pen & ink)

hat

Spotted this man on the train last week. Great face, lots of character and the hat was cool. Not sure I quite captured the face and what looks (in the sketch), like a bandanna around his neck, was actually the collar of his tee-shirt. It’s not often you spot someone wearing a hat like this and a tracksuit but today was my day.

loose people

One day, someone who looks like the man on the right will sit on the train, right beside me. It will be a lesson: do not render people so loosely, just because you think they’re about to move away.

You’re a horned deity with time to kill on your commute. What are you going to do? Fiddle with social media. What else?

Granted, I didn’t see this guy on the train. This is a sketch-rough for an idea that I’ve been playing with as a lead-up to an art competition entry. Dead rough, odd as you like. Straight-up.

There was a lot of whispering. He was very uptight, lots of leaning in and muttering. She was a bit distant. They settled down after a bit.
