"LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT"
That is exactly what happened when I first saw Chicago, the
glittering metropolis. Her beauty was way beyond my wildest imaginations,
instantaneously stirring me up into the fantasy of
sketching her renowned architectural wonders to their fullest glory and
richness in details.
Finally, after many attempts, hard-work and persistence,
I am delighted to bring you my own hand-sketched and digitally painted renderings of the architectural landmarks of this greatest city as an
elegant, one of its kind, coffee-table book, collection of posters, postcards and T-shirts.
It took 5 long years to compile this collection which as far as I know,
are the very first and only one of their kind in Chicago: I mean, such a wide
collection of hand-sketched renderings of her glamorous
architectural jewels; making each one of them very special and unique.
Miles & miles long, free-hand pen & ink line drawings done first, were then scanned in and meticulously painted digitally to capture
the magnificence
of these edifices to the minutest details. Studies in Architecture and
Urban Design coupled with many years of professional experience in the
architectural design industry has helped me in completing
these renderings to the best of my abilities.
I believe this book and art-works are elegant treasures for anyone who lives in, loves and visits this magnificent metropolis:
Great, Special, Chicago Gifts !!!
