Yesterday I met one of my urban heroes, Hani, the man who creates those gorgeous chalk drawings all over the Upper West Side. I came out of my drug store at 110th and Broadway, and he was rendering Hillary Clinton in chalk. Normally his ouevre is more classical, with an emphasis on recreating the saints and patriarchs who adorn the Sistine Chapel in brilliantly colored chalks. He was charming (actually a real sweetheart) and quite appreciate of the fact that I am quite appreciate of him. His drawings have brightened my day for years. Keep it up, Hani. You rock!
