Hope Gangloff
This post is to call out an artist whose work I appreciate. Most of the subject matter in the artist’s sketches consists of nitty-gritty NYC debaucheries: cheap beer, pills, sex, cigarettes and rock n’ roll. This is why I had always assumed the artist was a male; but no, Hope Gangloff is female. (I first noticed her work featured in the header of myopenbar.com)

The medium, too, looks cheap: drawn with blue, red and black pens. But the—art and humanity within it—is rich.
