ABSTRACT

What I wanted to achieve with this particular picture was to create a familiar urban setting with a surreal edge. Usually images of cities are cold and mechanical, and I wanted to give this particular project a more personal and warm tone, but still hold a hint of fantasy about it. I begin most of my projects by mapping out my ideas with pencil sketches, and this project in particular began with fairly personal sketches that gradually built up into larger scale ideas with more detail and focus on what I wanted to portray (Fig.01a)
