A Day in New York City

I’m currently trying to develop my personal illustration style. In this process, I aim to “create, not critique.” The easiest way for me to approach this is to illustrate my personal experiences using humor and fun mark-making.

Follow a day in NYC with me through my illustrations:

10 a.m.: I got lost in the city. A frustrating hour into my detour, I got denied from all the public restrooms along Central Park. The Plaza Hotel “bouncer” was the strictest.

When I finally reached my destination, I illustrated our exchange on my coffee cup with the only medium I had on hand: lip liner.

11 a.m.: Free Central Park Portraits! I abandoned my lip liner and bought a pen, experimenting with new patterns and lines (and even makeup).

2 p.m.: I coaxed a hotel manager into letting me into the guest lounge to order a single item: a Diet Coke. It realllly hit the spot.
