Artist Jason Polan, who has been drawing every person in NYC, is getting so close to his goal. Well, he's drawn 8,300 people... so he's having a "One Tenth of a Percent Event" over the next few days. Want to be in his line of vision when he's drawing his next few New Yorkers (even David Byrne's been captured)? He'll be at The Museum of Modern Art today from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. drawing people — and making stops at The American Museum of Natural History, Grand Central andTimes Square. Get his full schedule here. more ›

Earlier this year we took a look at Jason Polan's ambitious effort to draw every person in NYC. Well, starting today you can put yourself in front of his pencil and pad and help out his project, but more importantly 826NYC. Polan and fellow artist Jane Mount are teaming up with Jen Bekman and her 20x200 site for Thrilla in Manila; the event is a three-day draw-a-thon where the public is invited to draw, be drawn or learn how to draw. Supplies will be provided, and next Monday the portraits will be for sale at the gallery (on Tuesday they'll go up for grabs online). more ›

Jason Polan has undertaken a project that seems nearly impossible; on his website he states:

I am trying to draw every person in New York. I will be drawing people everyday and posting as frequently as I can. It is possible that I will draw you without you knowing it. I draw in Subway stations and museums and restaurants and on street corners. I try not to be in the way when I am drawing or be too noticeable. Whenever I have a new batch of drawings I will post them on this blog.
