Description

NYC. When I travel I miss this messy smelly cranky crowded place, not the actual place it is now but the sense of her. The shops that have closed and hand-made trinkets bartered therein, the breaking into city parks long after dark to just to share a swing seat and watch the stars, the all-ages night clubs that used to be a Church or used to be a Bank and would someday soon become a Farmer's Market. Places that aren’t there anymore except for the feel of them.

I think New York is a vampire; it makes old-souls of lovers and while staying always young, always changing, always new.

This is how I remember her best.

Everything in this drawing is inaccurate. And that is what makes it perfectly right.
My friend, Sarah A. asked for this as a print. I hadn't made available before because it's SUCH a weird size.

:new: I revisited the background on the left with the Ginza, Tokyo Japan line-art. Also redrew the trash can (you can see the massive difference if you clicky Three up there :above:) I like it soooo much better-er now. Huzzah in insomnia!:w00t:

... of course its such a ridiculous shape I can get it printed properly nowhere. ^^; alas.
