October 12-17

i had my first drawing-related hassle the other night on the subway. i was trying to draw this guy's gold teeth. when he caught on, he demanded a copy of his portrait. this led to a loud back and forth, him holding my pencil hostage and me almost getting chopped in two as i straddled the closing subway doors trying grab it back.

always an adventure...

all images below are from the subway, save for one of john, the editor i am working with on the Congo video.

but wait, you didn't tell us who won in the scuffle over the drawing? Please don't leave us hanging.

Wow... I've never heard of anyone being so adamant about their PORTRAIT being DRAWN. I've seen people not wanting to be photographed, but not DRAWN? Crazy...
