Meditation Series: (8/8) Street Fair, NYC (1988)

This sketch shows more of the surrounding architecture of the city block than the people enjoying the street fair. The musician seems quite alone.

Meditation Series: (7/8) Street Fair, NYC (1988)

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.

Meditation Series: (6/8) Street Fair, NYC (1988)

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.

Meditation Series: (5/8) Street Fair, NYC (1988)

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 […]

Meditation Series: (4/8) Street Fair, NYC (1988)

Meditation Series: (3/8) Street Fair, NYC (1988)

I haven’t done a lot of figure drawing lately. In this sketch the figures and their relationship are the most important feature of this variation.

Meditation Series: (1/8) Street Fair, NYC (1988) (1/8)

This is the second time I used my photo of this street fair scene as a model for a pen and ink sketch. As I recall, it was on 6th Avenue in midtown Manhattan. I have fond memories of this particular moment, since the musician (I think his name was Duncan) played Stardust on the […]
