Bad Hard Drive on a Metrocard Machine

Spotted this last night on the way home. I always find it amusing to see public-facing technology crap out. I'm so used to it happening to me, you see.

Draw Every Day 3/18/12: ink drawing on the subway

Drew this in about fifteen minutes before my stop on the A line.  Most of the detail on the upper right was filled in from memory, however.

Draw Every Day 2/20/12: Saw her in an ad on the subway

Not much more to explain about this one, really.  Though I did manga her up a bit since I'm rubbish at drawing real humans.  Plus I love those anime-style eyes.  I think I'm getting better at them.  The semi-realistic mouth needs work and I'm not nearly confident enough to try drawing realistic teeth.  But the year is young!

Snapped this just as my train was arriving so I couldn't get a cleaner shot. The rat was lying in a stream of flowing water that ran down the length of the track. Sad little guy. Now he will be remembered. Kinda.

The #OccupyWallStreet Graffiti Man gets rebuffed by a local and a fellow #OWS person!

It reads:

Dear Fellow Occupy Wall Streeter,

Please stop defacing & vandalizing the neighborhood. It makes the whole movement look bad. (And it makes you an asshole.)

To see what this letter is complaining about, check out my previous pics here:
