It would take him 79 years to finish the job.
Artist Jason Polan has challenged himself to draw every person in New York.
The project started in March of 2008 and it is still going strong. "I like doing projects that are all-encompassing," he told BuzzFeed News.
His previous projects have included drawing every single kernel in a popped bag of microwave popcorn, and drawing every piece of art in the Museum Of Modern Art.
Polan likes to include as many people as possible in his projects. "I thought this would be a way to do that (on a big scale) in a not terribly aggressive way," he said.
He also believes that this project will be a great way to improve his drawing.
