Piece description from the artist
This was based off a number of different streets on Beacon Hill, combined into one. I did most of this drawing in a very short time, in order to have it ready for a show at Northeastern University. (The last half done in 12 hours straight, locked in my room) and my goal was to make the image feel intricate, long, and have the tower in the distance seem enormous.
