STREET FOLK!

This assignment is regretfully late, so without further ado...

This week's theme, "Street Folk", is just that -people you find walking the streets everyday. My focus was on line variation rather than colour. That's probably why it took me longer than usual.

Anyways, first you have the unattended child, more frequently spotted in the summer months. What is it about hot weather that makes people stop caring where their kids are?

Following that you have the odd looking people. What sets them apart from people who make a point of standing out *coughgothscoughcough* is that they're actually pretty normal, but have some unusually dominant and noticeable feature.

As for the bent over lady with the baby, I was walking along Michigan Avenue one day and passed this really haggard young woman being pestered by a small kid. She looked years older than she probably was, and to be perfectly honest, I bet if someone offered to take her child she would've have hesitated handing him over.

The guy from out of town. These people are usually around the CTA -You know them, the ones that glance around frightfully and try to make themselves look as small as possible. They know that you know they're not from around here, so they try to become invisible lest they break some unknown rule. Whatever happens, they carefully cling to their safety shield, the mystery letter that forced them come to this godforsaken place to begin with. In my experience, it's usually a court summons.
