Shaky Metro 1993


This sketch was drawn while I was riding on the Metro, Washington's shaky, unrepaired public transportation system. That's why it doesn't have the precision of my other drawings. But if you look closely you can see recognizable things. From left to right: two seats under the map of the Washington Metro. Center: a panel and a pole for stand-up riders. Right: part of the image of a rider who is carrying a portfolio. The Metro was so neglected that by 2018 it was almost unusable and "they" had to shut down large portions of the system for repairs, annoying commuters and tourists alike.

Brown tech pen on sketchbook page, 5 1/2" x 7", spring 1993.
