#commutist

A hand drawn mini zine, capturing a few specific moments relatable to the subway commuter. Rylee is fascinated by the way our lives intersect for a short period of time on public transit before dispersing into our separate days. Commutist is a tribute to the frustration, confusion, kindness, and humor that we all encounter, and to the beautiful people on the train that she is inspired by daily.
