New York City Street Art

Here is post #2 of the NYC Series I am posting.  In this edition, I looked through tons of photos that I took walking the streets of Manhattan.  There is Street Art/ Graffiti/ Murals, all over NYC.  Its pretty easy to see how the Art Scene in NYC flurishes, so much of it is out in the open and for all to see.  There seemed to be a trend amongst alot of the graffiti I came across in NYC, more thoughtfulness and playfulness.  The monkey sketch on the Left is painted on a Childrens Learning Center (grantted its on one of those metal roll up doors…the childrens learning center was in the Projects).  There is alot more inspiration to come for the NYC Series so check on back! Enjoy!

Here  is the first sketch in a series of sketches that I am working on, based on photographs I took in New York City.  We only had 4 days in NYC Manhattan, so sketching time was limited.  But I did take a ton of photos, capturing little scenes I wanted to sketch out.  This one is the beginning of the NYC Library…scenes all over town like this made me realize why NYC was such a huge inspiration to Comic Book artist since the very beginning.  This one is for you Gotham.
