I wanted to capture the crowd in this variation. I colored the balloons and the trumpet for contrast between the spirit of the fair and the black and white of the pedestrians.

This is an imaginary version of that street fair back in 1988. The music man blares his trumpet and backhands the piano to entrance the crowd.

My hero is again, front and center in this sketch. In the background is the inside wall of a building, whose outer walls were demolished. One can see where the stairwells and floors were once attached. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale inspired by my autistic brother Mike at: https://autisminspiredart.etsy.com My […]
This sketch is from another photograph I took that day. Duncan, the man singing is out of proportion with the pedestrians in the scene. He was the star attraction of the street fair in my eyes.

I started this sketch with the graffiti bicycle riding over the tent (see original sketch), I added a scooter and the shopping cart. I used water soluble ink pens for some of the lines. I like it when the colors bleed when wet. I applied colors intuitively, with no real plan. I like the way […]
