Commuters
Ever get the feeling that everyone’s staring at you when you get on that bus to work every morning? Well, I did (before I shed the shackles of the day job and became a freelancer at least!) and that’s what inspired this painting – commuters on the top deck, always curious to see who’s entering their domain.
Commuters belongs to the following groups:
Cute-n-Creepy, Designers United, Illustration - Artwork for narrative content and Mixed MediaAvailable for sale as Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Thanks everyone!
Julian – I’m a huge Studio Ghibli fan, so I won’t deny that Hayao Miyazaki’s simplistic style for some of his characters migth have influenced the spooky commuters a little :)

your contrast of the light reflection from the windows is nice. and seeing the building images show through..this is a haunting painting. you should do more of them.

This is great. It reminds me of the Japanese animation “Spirited Away” by Hayao Miyazaki.

Fantastic. Great style
adamjohnston, 26 days ago
Don’t know why, but apart from being a great image, for me the last “out of focus” eyes nearest the viewer really makes this cool.

I understand this completely – on my way to uni, i have to go via train and bus, and generally i’m carrying two canvases, a bag full of paints, a roll of paper and a box for my sculpture stuff. Imust admit, it would have to be rather comical (i’m pretty short, and loaded up with all that stuff i must look like a miniture pack-horse) but.. well, all the people staring does create a rather foreboding atmosphere. and that, you have captured perfectly in this piece. Whether it be in the shapeless figures themselves, or in the eery use of light, the atmosphere isperfect in this. well done.

I like it. Colours, light, comp. all very nice. You even blurred the first commuter on the right …Very clever.

I know how this is. I always just hope I can sit down so I can read. Plus I always listen to my MP3 player so I don’t have to listen to the inane babbling around me. Great work.

You really have to have these buses to get the story. There is just something about that top deck and your dead right. Great work.
