Herman Draws At Macy’s Herald Square

It felt like winter for the 150th anniversary of Macy’s at Herald Square. Except it was raining. This is the view East along 34th Street. I was hired to draw customers in the Fragrance Department just inside the entrance in the middle of the block. The store was packed, mostly with tourists. I drew families from Israel, ireland, England… One lady from Bristol told me it was cheaper and safer to shop in new York than in her own city of London ?!? I drew  a sweet man named David who was in the store celebrating his 89th birthday with his girlfriend. I also drew Vicky, a girl that I had drawn 25 years ago when I first worked at Macy’s.
