🎨 Why the Downtown Glimpse Framed Poster Belongs in Your Collection

The Downtown Glimpse Framed Poster is more than a visual. It’s an experience. This powerful portrait represents Howard Goodley’s vision as a lifelong Bronx native and subway sketch artist. Riding the #2 train daily for over 30 years, Howard would sit silently, pencil in hand, capturing his fellow passengers in thought, rest, or motion—all without a word.

This framed poster honors one of those authentic encounters. The subject—graceful, grounded, and wrapped in contemplation—becomes a symbol of the strength and depth within ordinary moments. Whether you see your mother, your sister, or a stranger in passing, the emotions in Downtown Glimpse Framed Poster are universal.

Printed on high-quality semi-gloss 200gsm coated paper, this framed poster features vivid detail and smooth color depth, protected behind clear Perspex glazing. Its hand-crafted wooden frame offers a clean, professional finish, making it perfect for home, office, or studio settings.

🖋️ About the Artist

Howard Goodley wasn’t just an artist—he was a storyteller with a sketchbook. From the view outside his Bronx window to the strangers across the subway aisle, Howard observed people deeply. Without speaking to his subjects, he captured their essence—using nothing but graphite and empathy.

Howard’s “Train Ride Through His Eyes” collection was uncovered after his passing. Dozens of his original subway sketches, including the Downtown Glimpse Framed Poster, reveal the pulse of New York through the decades—its residents, workers, and wanderers frozen in time by his careful hand.
