Tuesday, April 27th, 2010A map of prohibition era NY. This was a challenge to say the least. It took me awhile to wrap my head around what needed to happen as you can see from the multiple sketches below (another 10 sketches not shown). The hard part was I knew there was going to be a lot of boxes put over the art but wasn’t really sure where, nor were they. It was certainly a team effort in figuring out where things needed to be.
Here’s the art under the info. I had fun placing little guys running from the cops, hopping the bridge and or buildings. And I got a kick out of using The Washington Square Arch as a bar. Plus a few spots in the grid were turned into speak easy doors. If I had more space and time I would have probably added a lot more little prohibition jokes.
Some sketches. From top left to bottom right is the progression of how it was being figured out. I certainly made it hard on myself.
