You subconsciously admit the superiority of the glory that is New Jersey.

As long as you don’t drive like somebody from PA we will welcome you to NJ

It's because Jersey is all petite and cute, all painterly and pretty. Makes for a great centerpiece for your art. PA is all unwieldy and somewhat rectangular. Awkward. Not painterly at all.

Love your lines, your art has a great flow, and it's clean as hell.

Tippy top of the shore gots a little limpy dicky doo called Sandy Hook. And tbf, if we’re being petty LBI is missing too. It’s a long beach island off the shore, but also tbf, a lot of south jersey beaches are like little islands.

Regardless, the art is great. And the missing whatever whatever is fine, cuz most jersey state art misses it anyway, and nobody cares.

Except maybe that guy

Dude, this is great! Would you consider selling prints? My wife and I grew up in NJ (now in CA)… we’d love this in our home!

Working on getting some prints made in the next few months. I did a California outline too! Trying to knock out all the recognizable states. I’m saving this comment and I’ll try my best to get back to you.

I was planning on moving to PA right after graduation for a job offer I got. How is it over there? Is there much young life? Philly is about a 30 minute drive from the company so I was thinking maybe I’ll live somewhere around there because that seems the most fun. Is this a good idea?

Cuz Jersey is the best state and your subconscious knows this already

I've got the state of NJ tattooed on my ribs. Didn't know it was NJ until someone asked me a few years later lol.

Story - got frisbee in college, traveled the world with it in backpack and it brought me amazing conversations so I wanted to commemorate when it broke. Turns out it was a misprint disc for the Rutgers ultimate team.

Never underestimate the staggering drawing power of the Garden State.

Check out Croydon or something outside of Philly- not sure where exactly your job is but you'd get more bang for your buck. I'm Jersey born and raised but PA is nice, my BF is originally from mid PA so we go back a lot.

As someone going to school near there but not a major city. I love the aspect you mentioned, but I also love all the convenience offered in NJ (excluding South Jersey that’s basically PA). Even the McDonald’s be closing… like what

t1_j13u6gz wrote

Oh definitely agreed! We're still here because I love the beach- but it's so population dense these days it hard to enjoy. But they are compromises we've made. I feel less stressed out in PA because the pace is slower, but that's the nature of the beast here.

It’s a sing that you should follow Washington across the Delaware, and join us! 😀 Excellent drawing, btw!

Can’t say I blame you, NJ is just a better shape for doodling

Must be from during Sandy because everything from Bay Head to Island Beach (and also the more southern outlying island) is missing. (Underwater?). I'm only teasing though, it is beautiful! Looks like it belongs in one of my many coloring books!

We're more welcoming here than they are in the Pennsylvania sub.

Agree, some of the roads are just awful to navigate and we do seem to have a LOT of rude entitled drivers. I saw something recently (couldn't find to repost unfortunately) about how if you leave a safe following distance on our highways, someone WILL inevitably assume that you left the space there for them. My (least) favorite are the ones that are in such a hurry that they blow a stop sign to cut you off when theres nobody behind you, which makes you slow down, just so they can go 1 block and make another turn, wth?!?. 😋

We're the superior state. Please ignore the fact a lot of us travel to yours for work though.

Because you are secretly in love with Jersey. Can't blame you...

I went to college for a few years out near Harrisburg. It was a lifestyle I didn’t quite appreciate living in rural Pennsylvania, but I did find myself missing it as I got older and always enjoying a visit to see friends living in and near Hershey

Edit: that being said, I love Jersey way more 🤩
