Not the tourist version - The real vibe.
The Real New York
This city is too complex, too raw, too alive to be flattened into “I ❤️ NY” slogans or glossy skyline postcards.
This drawing was made out there — in the heat, the noise, the rhythm of real life.
On sidewalks and subway steps. In parks and backstreets.
Over 6 weeks, it grew — line by line — drawn live, on location, right here in your neighborhoods.
From Chinatown to the Bronx. From graffiti-tagged walls to hidden jazz spots.
From bodegas to bridges. From chaos to quiet.
You might spot your block. Your corner. A scene you pass every day.
Because this isn’t a romantic fantasy. It’s a portrait of the New York you actually live in.
– unfiltered, unpolished, and deeply real.
