Urban Sketchbook

This site is where I am collecting drawings I've been doing of people, mainly where I live around Newtown/Erskineville in Sydney, Australia, with occasional forays elsewhere, mainly Japan. Some are drawn from life, some from photos I took, some from other people's photos. If you're interested, you can see other stuff of mine at http://sites.google.com/site/shakespearecomics/Home

'Four Ruffians, Town Hall Hotel, Newtown', ink on paper, 2007

Posted by The Little Guy at 12:59 pm No comments:
Labels: 100 years ago these four would have been described as ruffians, an underused word today. The one in the middle looked pretty menacing, though this was more a lively discussion than a real argument.
