This sketch shows a black train moving fast from left to right, its wheels and smoke blurred by speed. Below it, a block of handwritten text in pencil reads like a conversation—someone asking where the train is headed, then musing about language and travel. The lines are loose and quick, with some cross-hatching on the train’s body. The text hints at uncertainty, mixing real questions with playful guesses. The artist’s mix of drawing and writing feels like a stream-of-consciousness sketch, not a polished work. If you like this style, check out Raymond Pettibon.
