2009 Downtown Living Tour sketch

Monday, August 31st, 2009

This is for a full page ad which I am also designing the layout for, to go in Tribeza and other promotional pieces for the tour. The view is actually the view from my window, taken last night. I wanted to include at least one crane (on the Austonian) to show the changing state of downtown and make the sketch specific to 2009. The Sheltie is my friend Jen’s and the orchid is one I have managed to keep alive for a few months. I drew some of the furniture based loosely on my living room, and the room itself and the couple standing at the door are from a photo I took of friends, Dale and Natalie, at their place. The girl with the flippy hair on the balcony looks vaguely familiar too…
