Tall buildings. I’ve always loved them, although admittedly my earliest skyscraper doodles always had Godzilla, UFOs or some other sci-fi villain chomping down on one.

My latest work has been far more benign, focusing on the buildings themselves (no bitemarks from radioactive lizards here =P). In a way, these buildings are monsters in and of themselves: I thought it’d be cute to make a ginormously tall building, out of place amongst some teensy row-houses.

I saw a lot of these “McMansions” when I lived in Los Angeles and San Francisco, sticking out like a sore thumb for all the world to see. They embody a sense of bold stupidity that you can’t help but love on some level.

PS - as usual I can’t decide on a single color palette so I think I’m going to just offer both of these versions. I hope you like them — I’ll be putting them in the shop soon! =0)
