Chicago Postcard

I visited Chicago in 2018, flying in and out of the city on a hot and steamy August day and discovered its delights, along with some much needed, cooler air, on an architectural boat tour. We wove through the city, where we were wowed by some of the most amazing architecture from the 19th and 20th century.

A handful of these iconic buildings grace my design of Chicago: the iconic Willis Tower, Hancock Building, Wrigley Building, Aqua Tower and Water Tower. Chicago is famous for its beautiful, ornate clocks that decorate its grand commercial buildings. I've drawn the pretty clock on the Marshall Field's department store, which also stocks my collection of sustainable souvenirs.

Chicago is world famous for many cultural contributions, including jazz and the deep pan pizza, both of which feature in my illustration of the Windy City.
