Zina Saunders is a professional writer-illustrator and native New Yorker who chronicles the lives of New York City residents on her very cool website, Overlooked New York. She also interviews each subject and does a brief write up about them and about their “joyous” obsessions. Some of her subject categories are; Rooftop Pigeon Guys, Animal Lovers (like Dora above), Subway Musicians, and Curry Contestants. Wonderful paintings and snapshots of some of the colorful people that make New York the great city that it is. Check it out (and if you happen to be a book editor, I for one would buy a collection of her portraits!).
