I love it, Liza. I can't imagine how you could do this with your finger on a subway! Amazing!

The same sort of thing happens for me with poems. I just watched an eccentric conflict between a customer and barista in a coffee shop while the stranger next to me provided commentary that was far more eccentric than the conflict. Except...if I write about it...I think I am stealing!

You should write about it! I mean, it won't be word for word, of course. Just the idea of a stranger providing commentary is funny.

I'm working on it to maybe post today. Is it okay if I quote from your post?

Fabulous. What app are you using? Looks different than Procreate Pocket.

I really like this piece Liza. As someone commented eloquently on the Instagram “still” of it. “You capture life without stealing it.” Beautiful.

This really speaks to my heart, reminding me of those rare and stolen moments with my son. I wonder if in 25-30 years our roles will be reversed.... 🥰

Perhaps, but so wonderful to have a connection.

"I boarded the subway yesterday with the intention of live drawing someone. Almost immediately, I realized it was too crowded."

Couldn't say that a year ago! LOL!
