I played with colors in this final variation on the space behind the Chirping Chicken luncheon place. The yellow in this sketch represents the shadows and its compliment, purple, the lighted areas. I had no real plan for the other colors, except I wanted the brick color to be the compliment of its natural red. […]
In contrast to the first pen and ink of this series, I loosened up on this one, sketching it very quickly. I used water soluble ink from standard ink pens and washed certain areas with water. I like the way the water spreads the ink around. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for […]
I cropped my image in this variation to show more of the fire escape as well as detailing the bright lighting in the exhaust duct. I like the illusion of three dimensions.

I took several reference photographs for this sketch. The black and white version works for the shadows, but the color (in real life) was the thing that made me snap the shutter.

I used to eat at the Chirping Chicken on 1st Avenue at 21st Street (as I recall). Through the front window, around lunchtime, there were 2 dozen or more whole chickens on the enormous grill. More interesting, visually, was the view around the corner. the huge duct and the old fashioned garbage cans make for […]
