Spotted this last night on the way home. I always find it amusing to see public-facing technology crap out. I’m so used to it happening to me, you see.

Drew this in about fifteen minutes before my stop on the A line.  Most of the detail on the upper right was filled in from memory, however.

Not much more to explain about this one, really.  Though I did manga her up a bit since I’m rubbish at drawing real humans.  Plus I love those anime-style eyes.  I think I’m getting better at them.  The semi-realistic mouth needs work and I’m not nearly confident enough to try drawing realistic teeth.  But the year is young!

Snapped this just as my train was arriving so I couldn’t get a cleaner shot. The rat was lying in a stream of flowing water that ran down the length of the track. Sad little guy. Now he will be remembered. Kinda.

It reads:

Dear Fellow Occupy Wall Streeter,

Please stop defacing & vandalizing the neighborhood. It makes the whole movement look bad. (And it makes you an asshole.)

Sign of the Times: You’d Never Expect THIS Subway Jumper (don’t worry!) a video by thepetecom on Flickr.

Saw this on the way home the night of December 6, 2011. Looks like the cold or maybe the down economy got to be too much for this poor bear!

Here are some stills I took:

FYI, the front-facing camera on my Android phone flips the picture for some reason and the stills were taken with the back-facing camera, so they’re not only higher quality, but also oriented properly.  Sorry for any confusion.
