not much to post, back from another trip home to visit family.
I am always amazed at the kinds of people I see at the airport, so much
good sketching to do with them.
It is really sad to see so many people in the airport now infected by
the "always on zombie". You can spot this person by the blinking blue ear infection and or the circled eye-wide open stare at nothing as they talk way to
loud with their hands covering their mouth as they try to conduct biz in public. The other is the infected screen stare, they hold a laptop in one hand while typing franticly with the other while standing in line to board the plane...as they are narrating this event to the ear bud.
Fascinating also to me are the shared travelers... these are the people you see board your plane and fly with you then days later, you see the same people on the same flight back to where you came from. These people could have picked any other day or time to fly but they chose the same days and times as you did and I always want to ask them what they did for the same amount of time I was there doing things.
The world is smaller and smaller and it saddens me that so many of us, myself included are just checked out all the time: Driving,Flying,Walking,Eating, some times Eating while walking or Driving and Zoned out on the phone, oblivious to the world around them or the people with them. Escapism evolved.
If ever there was a horror movie come to life it is driving 70 mph on the road surrounded by SUV driving, hand talking, nacho eating, book reading driver zombies swerving in and out of their lanes like they are the only one on a suffocatingly crowed road.
Observation through sketching is the only way I can help myself unplug and I don't do it nearly enough.
