Brilliant - really original. I love studies of real people - I was thinking it would be so amazing to have a museum of sketches of people on the London tube from over the years. I´ve done loads since about 1990, mostly of sleeping or reflected people as it makes people feel uncomfortable in an overpopulated city, if you draw them directly. I think most French & Italians on the London tube actually like being drawn though, take it as a compliment & might even come & look at it/talk to you about it after if they´re not in a hurry. I´m more interested in drawing people worn out from work though!
I love your style. The words in your sketches really heighten it. I love it. I sware I'm going to through a dictionary at the next person that says words don't yield any physical power. KEEP IT UP!!
I love your aesthetic. Such great depth of character and such close attention to detail. Also love the choice of red/orange ink. The color often lightens the dark undertones and adds a playful dimension of sorts. Love it. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Nicely done. Reminds me a bit of Alan E. Cober. Very fine work. Good to see you taking on the human condition. Lacking in much reportage these days. I have a similar disposition. Check it out if you like.

ELBOW-TOE is the mad scientist of street art. His work is eclectic and ever evolving with content grounded in myth, symbolism and poetry.
I have always been fascinated by the direction of his art in the public spaces of Brooklyn and was therefore happy to learn that he carries a sketchbook with him on the subways of New York city.
For this awesome feature, we have 17 spreads from ELBOW-TOE's own book, all done flawlessly with a red felt pen.
