Passenger: Chris

Chris was really mesmorized by his iTunes. 

What is Passenger?

Passenger: Tim

Passenger Tim was a [drunk] Cubs fan. He got up to go to the bathroom, then when he came back it took him a couple passes to find his seat again. Silly Tim.

Ta-da! A new installment of “Passenger.” This project has been on vacation for quite some time. I’m not sure why exactly – it’s definitely not for lack of good material. I think it just fell victim to technology – my laptop. My laptop and I have a love/hate (let’s be honest – it’s more love/love) kind of relationship that I feel needs to be broken. And soon!

Passenger

The other day I found myself sitting on the train with no music, no crossword puzzle, nothing to read. I found a scrap of paper in my bag and started sketching the gentleman sitting in the seat a few rows ahead of me. I had no idea it would be so much fun.

I miss sketching. I really do. Thus, I'm starting a small project titled "Passenger".

It's interesting to think that the people I'm sketching have no idea I'm watching them the entire train ride - noticing the small wrinkle in their pant cuff, or that the bottom of their shoe is scuffed. Or maybe that they slouch when they write. This seems crazily intriguing, this sneaky sketching of mine. Of course I don't know their names, but I feel they need an identity, so they'll each take on an assumed name of my choice.

Welcome to Passenger.
