Meet Sophia Blackall. An Brooklyn-based illustrator I just learn about thanks to my sister. We were riding the sub and then she spotted a Sophia's original illustration displayed on the cart we were in. Yesterday, she sent me this video.
Sophia rides the subway for inspiration and draws the peculiar characters she sees during the journey, to later create a larger illustration of these people on the subway.
Her style is dreamy and whimiscal, with a children book's feel to it. The subway is one of the best places for people-watching, and I'm glad someone is documenting it all!
You really run into some interesting personas!
Check out her work process on the video,
or you can buy some of her original work on her esty shop.
