Recently I took on a unique project at the request of friends. They needed something to put on their living room wall and they had a very strict idea of what they wanted. The strict demands for my art work in the space provided is as follows: "something that looks cool".
We came up with an abstract idea of the Austin skyline with certain liberties taken to add the UT tower and move a few other iconic buildings so they appear like they are on South Congress. I took it as an opportunity to try out an idea I had been kicking around in my head for the past year or so. I would use multiple canvas to give the piece a 3D effect and add to the perspective of somebody looking up at the buildings. The canvases are "stacked" to give the viewer the impression that certain buildings are closer than those in the distance.
More pictures of the fully complete artwork to come!
UPDATE!
We finally got this sucker on the wall, and wouldn't you know I forgot my real camera. Here's a iPhone picture anyway:
