Description

Hard drive archeology.

Sketch of the Empire State Building I did for a friend of mine at some point in the ancient past.

New York is such a wonderful magical bitch to draw, with it's mix of old and new world architecture. Glass boxes juxtaposed with Corinthian columns juxtaposed with Art Deco spires juxtaposed with terraced brownstones juxtaposed with...(Drat, :doh: ran out of pretentious architectural jargon--well at least i got to say "juxtaposed" four times. That's gotta impress somebody.)

So many people draw it as a setting for so many comics, one tends to forget what a special challenge it is to visualize.

Makes me wish more comics were set in Tokyo. ;p
