Your idea is freaking awesome- trying to capture the different facets of people's in the new york life. i see your work as a message that multiculturalism is working; people are living in harmony, everyone is during different things and there is a diverse community out and each day you're capturing the ever-growing diversity of the city in which it holds the chaos and the ever- growing buildings of N.Y. whats more is the simplistic style breaks down cultural barriers because the style doesn't fit in specific art movements that need brushstrokes show texture or it has to be realistic. one day i hope to get to new york and so you can draw me. stumblethesewords.blogspot.com
I am trying to draw every person in New York. I will be drawing people everyday and posting as frequently as I can. It is possible that I will draw you without you knowing it. I draw in Subway stations and museums and restaurants and on street corners. I try not to be in the way when I am drawing or be too noticeable. Whenever I have a new batch of drawings I will post them on this blog. If you would like to increase the chances of a portrait of YOU appearing on this blog please email me (art@jasonpolan.com) a street corner or other public place that you will be standing at for a duration of two minutes (I will be on the corner of 14th street and 8th avenue on the North-east corner of the street from 2:42-2:44pm this Thursday wearing a bright yellow jacket and navy rubber boots, for example). Please give me more than a 24 hour warning and please make it a scenario that is not too difficult for you to accomplish (the corner outside of the store you work at during lunch time, or in front of a museum you were going to go to on a Saturday) because I may unfortunately miss you and do not want you to have to invest more than 2 minutes of your time in case I cannot make it. You may or may not see me drawing you during this time. If I do draw you, you will see yourself (or rather, a drawing that hopefully somewhat resembles you) on this blog that evening.
When the project is completed we will all have a get together.
