Meditation Series: (1/8) Street Saw, NYC (1989)

A man is using a huge circular saw to cut into the street in this scene. I was more interested in portraying the worker than the storefronts in this, the original version of this set of meditations.

Meditation Series: (3/8) The Palladium, NYC (1989)

I began this sketch with the idea of using complimentary colors for the mural on the Palladium building. I used the lines defining the spotlights as dividers for a patchwork of colors.
