I am going to watch for him and stage a murder in front of his next sketch.

Really good example of an artist whose art is soaked all the way into his everyday being. Bravo!

He's a cyclist. I'm going to try and get him to draw my building.

He was featured while back on 99% invisible which is an excellent podcast on things tangentially related to architecture and design that you should listen to.

I was already to be like, New York again, funky artsy person, bah humbug! But I really like these illustrations, and the sheer volume just makes it joyous.

His book has a lot more of these drawings which aren't online.
