Last Seen......




Shot this past Sunday in Central Park. It is the display of a sketch artist. There are lots of them there. They each have their spots, set up on most days and, with luck, make a few bucks selling tourist sketches of themselves. I don’t understand why a tourist, visiting New York would want that as a souvenir. Do they think being here makes them look better? Maybe like Sinatra or Presley? Will they show the sketch to friends when they get back home?  Will it be framed and displayed along with their highschool team photo?  


Anyway, this guy has a selection of large, matted sketches. They look nothing like the rest of his work, the smaller ones on top of the display. I like those.  They remind me of police artist’s sketches, the ones with captions that read: “Subject is described as………………….”


Lots of people last seen………Maybe that’s why they look familiar.
