The People On The Metro zine is part of the Hotel Notepad Drawings series, a visual journal started by graphic designer and musician Jordan Cortez in 2015. He draws just about anything that a common folk can encounter in everyday life. Commuters, meals, store fronts and botanical chaos are some of his favorite subjects. His preferred vantage points are a corner spot on the metro or an outdoor sitting in a coffee shop. Each drawing is a personal impression and/or social commentary making each piece a unique and random encounter from the artist's perspective.
