This was a very full food cart I passed on the way to The Whitney one day. I snapped a picture and decided to draw it a couple weeks later. I am always collecting photos of scenes and things happening around me to make paintings of later. I have so many pictures and not enough time to make paintings.

Food Cart on Gansevoort Street is an homage to the ubiquitous hot dog cart, a stalwart of the NYC streets, a part of the landscape here in the metropolis Rothman calls home. The cart is a cacophony of images itself, positively covered in brightly-colored idealized pics of its offerings. A glossy pretzel looming luxuriously on a black backdrop, a beet-red bun-nestled beef sausage the length of an adult’s arm, fresh fist-sized falafel peeking coquettishly from a fluffy pita. Like the green orbs signaling a subway station, those trademark umbrellas stick out above the crowd, an easily spot-able advertisement. Made with a mix of paint and markers, the colors pop, the details sizzle. You might almost miss the vendor’s baseball-capped head, barely visible in all the commotion. But there he is, dead center. Rothman’s illustration reminds us to hold space for these food cart vendors, some of whom spend decades staking out the same spots, slinging hot dogs and other snacks to the scurrying masses.
