Jason Polan

About 10 years I mentioned Jason Polan, who set out to draw every person in New York City:

I am trying to draw every person in New York. I will be drawing people everyday and posting as frequently as I can. It is possible that I will draw you without you knowing it. I draw in Subway stations and museums and restaurants and on street corners. I try not to be in the way when I am drawing or be too noticeable.

Apparently he just died. Very sad. But also truly remarkable that he set out to do something so wildly ambitious that all these years later, even a jagoff like me remembered him.
