What it’s like to draw people on Muni

muni from Avner Geller on Vimeo.

Hella people draw their fellow Muni passengers. It’s good practice, and lord knows there’s never a dearth of interesting characters on the bus.

Muni rider Avner shares the unique perspective of how those people react to being “drawn on Muni.”

“My name is Avner Geller. I am an artist living in San Francisco and working in the animation industry. I take the muni to work every day, and usually sketch the different passengers. People often ask me how do people react if they catch me…I made this little clip as an answer to how it feels.”

Thanks, Avner!

So, have you ever knowingly been drawn drawn on Muni? How did you react?
