New York Stories: Fire Priorities
In the end, there wasn't actually a fire, but the important thing is that I know where my loyalties lie.

New York Stories: the R train
No point pretending these are strictly daily drawings any more, but I'm getting back into the swing of it now I'm back in the city.

New York Stories: Casual
This woman did not skip a beat. As the bus was pulling up, she leaned slightly forward, blaaaaargh-ed, then just hopped on. Damn, New York, you know how to have a good time.

New York Stories: India Ink
I am in the wrong profession for clean things.
Also this drawing has nothing to do with New York, it is just a thing that has happened.

New York Stories: Diamond District
Oh my lord, sometimes I hate walking through the diamond district so much. So many hawkers. Back off! Stop forcing flyers for your sketchy we-buy-gold biz into my hands! And please do not indicate that I am a woman of loose morals if I say 'no thanks' to you!
As if I even own any gold or diamonds. Puh-leeeeeze.

New York stories: Dead mouse
The slow, sad rotation of a mouse, with arms outstretched, in a toilet bowl. This happened over a year ago, but re-enacting the mouse's farewell still makes me laugh.

New york stories: Manhattanhenge
I've started doing a daily(ish) diary(ish) of life in New York. I've been an expat for almost eighteen months now - haven't really done much by way of documenting my life here. But I do have pages of notes of 'things to draw' that have happened here. So now I'm drawing them - some get drawn on the day they happen, but on uneventful days I'm just going to draw something that happened a while ago. Like this.

Happy Valentines Day
Today I saw a business man crying in the street, hunched in an alcove. Sad times. Hope your Val-Day is better than his.

Grounded hawk
The good people at the New York Times City Room Blog posted my drawings of a hawk I saw injured when visiting their building. Slight problem revealed in the comments section: it appears that my bird is more of a falcon than a hawk. When I drew it I didn't actually know which it was, so I just kind of invented a bird of prey based on a few reference images. I hope the hawk can forgive me. They are just sketches. I will do better in future, little red tailed hawk.
