The Rhythm of Commuters

 

5/15/25

As you’ve seen in previous posts, I like to save up a collection of fellow commuter sketches to put together in a single post rather than show them along with whatever I sketched at the destination. Commuters form a bridge between where I was and where I will be. They collectively create their own story separate from the purpose of my travel.

When viewed together, they have almost a rhythm: faces, hands, feet; observations of clothing and grooming; observations about fellow passengers I’d rather not be sitting near. There’s also the visible passage of time in my sketch journals: Four Uglybooks colors since May – my own personal seasons.
