Recently, a gentleman I know from work, was browsing through some of my doodles and asked if I would do something for him. Apparently, his brother is getting married this week, and has an infatuation with the mass transit system in Chicago, particularly, the L Train. He asked if I would do something on an envelope so that he can put his gift inside of it for his brother. I don't normally get many requests, and frankly, shy away from them somewhat. However, I was intrigued with the chance to do something a little more industrial, a little more linear, than what I normally play with. Here is how it came out. I put in some foliage to try to balance the mechanized with nature. This is done in pen and ink, watercolor and some prismacolor to accentuate some of the colors.
I hope he likes it....
