The Sounds of the Underground- Illustration

“Watch the Gap while boarding the train” must have been ringing in the ear of illustrator Heidi Younger when she embarked on her latest self-guided book project titled Sounds of the Underground to be published as a limited edition. The illustrated book links street musician imagery with short snappy poems also written by Heidi. The images are designed to visually interconnect, mimicking the connection of the MTA system.

Imagine the sight or the noise that makes one stop and take notice.
Watch the Gap....
Work resumes on my subway musician book, which I hope to have done in May.

Thanks Mom!

Wandering the cavernous tunnels of the subway, you never know what you may stumble upon. Humans are ultimately creative beings.

Saw Lady

Saw Lady

I saw a lady with a saw
What does this lady saw?

The crowds of people point and awe
When they see the lady with the saw

She sings the song, so sad and mellow
Heartbreaks all the young fellows

Remembrance of sadden times
When forests existed and not the saw

So now the saw has only its song
And a kindhearted lady who plays it alone

Break Dancing

Break Dancing

2 break a beat,
Dancers on the street,
Solo dancers on the ground,
Use their heads to spin around,
The speaker vibrates with the sound,
A box of money passed around,
Organized and planned,
The dancers stand and clap their hands,
To a beat one jumps to his feet,
Forward center what a pleasure,
Side to side he knows the space,
A smile upon his face,
Suddenly as if in a race,
A swirl of motion grabs his pace,
Contortion of posture makes us wonder,
A leg above the shoulder the dancer rolls over,
An astonished commuter smiles,
And stays a while,
Then turns to go re-entering the commuter flow.

Morning Commute

Morning Commute

Move quickly up and down the stairs
Keep the pace
Better not waste a second
For this is the morning race
See the seriousness in that face
Ready set go, watch as the crowd flows
Universally agreed, there is a need for speed
A slight plea
Coffee or tea
as the rushing women, rushing men,
Do they welcome the notes from the solo violin?

Busy! Busy! Busy!

Besides being in Grad. School with class each evening this month,
I've landed a few illustration jobs. This will keep me out of trouble.
