Piece description from the artist
This piece was actually inspired by this enormous foreboding structure in downtown Boston. (Seen in the back of the image)
This is the first piece in a series entitled "The Bright Eyed Adventurer" The lower part has building that are based in hotels and store fronts in Downtown Boston, and the roofs and broken windows are inspired by older, damaged buildings. Looking from bottom to top is like a change in time.
