Kayleigh’s Musings

Since I was an art student for several years in college I found this story very interesting.  There’s a 25 year old artist who is attempting to sketch every person in New York City before he dies.  His idea came from trying to give the 8 million people in New York individuality.  He says, “I might never finish, but that’s ok.  I’m coming from the midwest.  It’s different living here.  I”m trying to make (New York) more palatable, more welcoming.”  I just find it incredible that this guy is taking on a monumental task like this.  If you click on this link http://www.everypersoninnewyork.blogspot.com/ you can see some of his sketches.  Some are more detailed than others but if you’re going to sketch 8 million people you have to draw fast!!
