Why subwaydoodle? I doodle on the subway. How did the subway series begin? I started drawing on the subway in 2011 when I bought my first iPad. I drew during my commute just to pass the time. One day I took a picture with my iPad on the train and drew over the picture. It was fun so I did another. And another. And another. Subway Doodle evolved from there. Your work has a very unique outline ,what is the inspira- tion behind it? I have always envied artists who could draw clean lines. I can’t. My hand trembles. It took me years to accept the shaky lines as part of my style. And drawing on a moving subway doesn’t help either! Most of your characters are blue is there a specific rea- son for that? I don’t want my creatures to be interpreted as a criticism or representation of any particular race or nationality. My doodles reflect the universal truths of all humans. Subway Doodle 33
