Wendy sketches people while on her morning commute. Can I just pause to say how much I love people like Wendy? Those that incorporate their passion for art into their daily activities? If I was an artist, or if I could even draw, I’d do it every day for fun. It’s like writing, sort of. But way cooler.

Love, love, love this style of sketching! Awesome!
You are an artist who creates and communicates with words! Equally as cool as drawing or painting. :)
I know that same rush in my fingers, when I just have to draw something all day long.
Lovely drawings!
Amazing work. Amazing.
Wonderful. Love the line work on this.
thanks guys! and thanks for the feature, erin. i’m very flattered.
Love the spontaneous quality and character of line work which brings each of your subject’s personalities to life.
I love observing other creative types doing what they do in public. I know I do a lot of writing and people watching when I’m out, and it’s fun to catch others doing the same in whatever their medium.
Thank you so much for this link. I love, love her blog and her work (‘the plane home’ makes me want to cry, to many words now but just because it’s such a familiar and worldwide sight). I’ve tried to sketch my students while they work or write an exam but they always notice me studying them and then it all fails. Anyway, I love everyday observations and Wendy’s style to me is so very inspiring.
I once read, “Never simply sit; sketch!” Everyone has those moments of “waiting,” be it on public transport or in a doctor’s front room. It’s quite refreshing to never wait, but rather only encounter bonus art/brainstorming time.
Wendy is like the athlete who gets drafted for both the professional baseball and football teams.Freakishly talented! She can draw AND write. love the commuter series idea.
