The newspaper stand in today’s watercolor was in Lower Manhattan according to my notes. I don’t remember where. I took a photograph of it in the early 1990s, during one of my walks in the city. My notes about the locations of pictures I took were vague most of the time. But I was able to deduce where it […]
I came upon this scene behind Grand Central Station. It was in the vicinity of my favorite newsstand. There was construction ongoing at the time, which I cropped out of this sketch.

It is the only non-text symbol present. The other adornments took the form of writing in white. My version of the door consisted of a series […]
