Putting every New Yorker on paper
Story in the L.A. TImes. (Yeah, the L.A. Times. don;t ask me why)
“Artist Jason Polan has an ambitious goal: to sketch all 8.3 million people in the city. He captures his unsuspecting subjects eating pizza, riding the subway, catching a train.”
My take: He probably gets less flak this way than if he were photographing people. Cool. As an aside, I think the photos in the piece are ace

Maybe I should sketch everyone in phph
and I agree that the chances of pissing the subject off are far lower when sketching people than when you photograph them. The only danger is that you might start doodling weird appendages onto them and then they suddenly come over and demand to look at their portrait.
