sketchbook + subway rides.


(drawing again!)

i love when i end up in a subway car with a bunch of kids on a field trip into the city. its so interesting to see the way they all react to each other and hear the things they joke and laugh about. today it was a group of 9-10 year olds headed to a museum. they were all scrambling for seats so i got up to let a boy sit down. once they were all sitting, they were allowed to eat the snacks they had brought on the train, and the boy promptly pulled out a bag of chips and began munching away. soon the bag was nothing but crumbs, which he would scoop into his hands and pour into his mouth, inevitably getting them all over the front of his jacked and on the floor in front of him. it was so funny to watch this awkward chubby child wedged between two people on their way to work, and their reaction, as he ate his snack oblivious to all around him. i thought it was cute... the people next to him probably didn't agree.
