So many interesting sketches come from artists waiting for planes, trains and buses, often of people or street scenes. But many fill time simply by drawing the four walls around them.  Which certainly enlivens our view of  airports, train stations and bus terminals.

Waiting for the Helicopter, Haiti - Jérôme Agostini

Il faut voir l’aéroport de Jérémie : sa piste en terre, ses vaches, ânes, chevaux qui broutent paisiblement et qui ne s’écartent que quelques minutes avant le passage d’un avion ou d’un hélicoptère.  (Partial translation: you need to see the dirt track, and the grazing donkeys, cows and horses that get out of the way only moments before an aircraft)  -Jérôme Agostini
