The "Trocks"

We watched the "Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo" show at the Joyce Theater in Manhattan, NY last weekend.  Fun show! 

Got there earlier than the 8:00 PM showtime so I had time to sketch the theater goers.  Our upper level seats were the nearest to the aisle section which was great to move in and out, in case we need to.  Sketching kept me busy before the theater dimmed the lights and curtains drawn up.  I also tried sketching blind contour in the dark except that they move so quickly on stage,  I abandoned that idea.  The original group was started in the 1970's so it's now 5 decades old and still running.  Who knew men can dance well en pointe?

 

A Collab with Ming

My work colleague, Ming, patiently waited for weeks ever since he marked these pages for me.  Actually, he explained it was his signature with a star on it.  I kept looking for an appropriate scene to work on his page and I found one not too far from work.  It was done this week on two different after work hours.  Last night, I finished working on the sketch.  This morning, I made a video of it.

Commuter Sketch on Car 9568

Last week, on the return home that evening in an almost empty coach, I closed my left eye and sketched what my right eye could see. I noticed my right eye immediately drawn inward to the left lens view.  There appears a parallax effect between what my right eye could partially see from my left eyeglass lens and the full view of my right eyeglass lens.  As noted on the page, I slouched into my seat to get this perspective of looking up the overhead rack shelf.
