Subway Series-Art Opening Featuring Work by Jonny Goldstein and John Kitses

John Kitses and I are going to have a two person show based on our subway sketches at E77 in Jackson Heights, Queens. The opening is 6-9PM on March 16. Come celebrate art and the NYC subway system with us! E77 is a creative space in Jackson Heights which combines art gallery, music venue, and restaurant/cafe. The owners are architects, and one of them is a painter, so it's set up to display visual art. 

We're calling the show Subway Series. In this case, it's not a series of baseball games between the Mets and the Yankees, it's a series of artworks based on drawings of people on the New York Subway. 

John and I use different approaches. He starts sketching in pencil, and then lays ink down over the graphite. I work directly with ink, using whatever marker I've got with me. Above is a sample of John's pencil sketching.

I'm going to color prints of my drawings and collage them onto painted textured canvas. John will be showing his inked sketches.

RSVP at the Facebook event here.

Bonus: My birthday is a few days after the opening so I'll be celebrating that too1
