I always appreciate when you post. It’s a really nice break from the political discourse on a lot of posts. You work shows a perspective of the city that feels familiar to those living here but still has a bit of a romance to it. Thank you.

Aw, thanks. I personally like seeing a variety of stuff including other peoples work. Not a lot of other city subreddits has that. Glad ya like the work!

I think the discourse shows we all care quite a bit about what happens here and is necessary, but your work is always a nice change of pace

It all goes into a rich tapestry of a subreddit

This may be my favorite of the paintings you've posted. Love it, keep up the great work!

Means a lot! It's a really long painting. 16x30. Unusual framing but I liked working on it.

Corner of Grand and Chrystie, nice! It's lovely to see my old neighborhood in art form :D

That's the spot! I liked the blue tarps and stuff. May have fudged the light a bit

There used to be all these comic book stands, including one on that very corner that don't exist any more. I really miss them.

Here's a pic of the one that used to be on the corner: http://www.nychinatown.org/directory/images/news_newsstand_med.jpg

That's cool. Reminds me that I want to do some paper stands paintings. Love the vibes of those places

Yup, I used to live at 111 Chrystie! And apparently someone got murdered there this year.

Utterly amazing! Looks fantastic! Unfortunately, it's nothing like it was a 10-15 years ago (bustling, jammed with humanity/carts/trash). I remember when they'd stack the empty wood slat chicken wire crates right on the sidewalk/street after they had unpacked their vegetable wares. Made navigating that corner fun.

onewordpoet OP t1_ixd4f16 wrote

There was certainly some of that going on but probably not to the extent to which you're saying. I really like the mess of it all

How long does this one frame take you?

2

onewordpoet OP t1_ixfdsqw wrote

Took a while. Over the course of a week I'd say.

killstimehere t1_iximl2y wrote

Since you've done it once, does it make it faster to replicate the second time? If you were to do a 'lite' version of this frame (or any frame) with lesser detail, would it facilitate progress. I ask because I'm trying to illustrate a few books and water color art in a childrens book is something I'd like to try to develop and publish to amazon KDP quickly as a collab with an artist. Children's books are a bit higher pace. I might be writing em faster than one can illustrate, bur getting one out there first is a great test

I showed this to a friend of mine who used to live down the street from there. He now has it on his wall 🙂

Superb capturing the light and the slow precision fading of the awning characters.

2

onewordpoet OP t1_ixg0010 wrote

Thanks for noticing. I took a few liberties with the awning especially with the speckled light on the red awning!

do you have a website where available works are listed?

This painting really brings me back. I went Pace University and I would take a walk over to Chinatown during breaks. I love that area. Wo Hop in particular was tailor made for a broke college student.

The shadow, shape, and detail of the hanging horizontal sign is freaking me out! I feel like it will start swaying. Shadow and light details are outstanding. (I don't paint nor draw, but even a dumbass like me can see how cool this watercolor turned out)
