Grand Central Station
Posted by Rob | Filed under All Drawings, Buildings, Interiors, New York, USA & Canada
I filmed a lot of the New York drawings and think when I eventually get around to editing this one it will make a good watch. The iconic clock in the center of the hall makes this space very special and to think that ten years ago it was full of advertising boards is quite astonishing.
Coming back to Manhattan from Brooklyn I look completely normal. The fella next to me has no idea what is in my pocket, and there is a girl across the way that even smiled my way, sorta. After I made it back into Manhattan, I should have gotten out to change at Grand Central, but I didn’t. I realized this at the next stop. I got off there and asked a man stilling on a bench, he looked like he had done cocaine before and probably had a problem. He said, at 125th street you can make a change that’ll get you to the lower East side. I made the change and got on a new cart. There was a man reading a catalog about cowboys or something having to do with the old west. He probably hasn’t done cocaine. A college white girl in a polo with a bike, in the right situation she probably would, but that hasn’t happened yet. A black man sending a text message in a suit, he looks too downtown-champagne type for cocaine. A different black man singing along with his walkman, defiantly. I probably could have bought from him. A punk couple, I think punks do different drugs.
