These drawings take time. I'm building layer upon layer. #NYC #drawing #tombow #wip #christopherstreet #subway

I'm working on some drawings about NYC, spanning 20 years. 2004-2024.
Here's Christopher Street Station -work in progress- as it was in in 2005.

A sculpture honoring gay liberation. There are four figures represented by the statues. Two men stand at the left. The one on the left is wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the shirt open at the top. His pants appear to be very tight. His right arm is at his side and his left arm is on the other man's right shoulder. The man on the right is in a relaxed pose with his left leg extended and bent at the knee. He has his hands in his pockets. He is wearing a jacket over his shirt. They are looking at each other. The figures are all white, covered in a white lacquer. Behind them is a long park bench and seated on it are a couple of women, also white lacquer. The one on the right is sitting with her legs open a bit. She is wearing pants and a short-sleeve shirt. She has long hair that flows over her back. Her left arm is resting on her left leg and her hand is dangling between her legs. Her right hand is gently resting on the left leg of the other woman. The woman on the left is leaning into the other woman a bit. She is wearing a tight shirt and she has close-cropped hair. Her right hand is resting gently, with her fingers touching the other woman's right hand and wrist. Her left arm is somewhat behind the other woman and bent, with her left index finger resting on her own chin. Behind them is a sign that talks about the gay rights movement.
