Calle Ocho 08

I haven’t been to Calle Ocho since I was very young and decided to go back in 2008 just to see if it has changed at all. What I was to discover is that it has gotten bigger, louder, and more crowded, if that was possible. The day started out manageable but it then it became hotter and more claustrophobic. I suppose it does have its charm but I got pass that after a while. The only thing that kept me going was how annoyed my girlfriend became. She had never been and her reaction to the event was very amusing to me. I collected a number of photos of the event and decided to make a drawing of one in my sketchbook as shown above.

The question remains, why draw such a claustrophobic event?

My answer, its Miami.
