Retro Tower Boulevard looks down a city avenue toward Tokyo Tower. It is a contemporary illustrated poster in the spirit of mid-century travel design — the bold shapes, warm flat colour and confident perspective that sold cities to travellers in the 1950s and 60s. The tower rises at the end of the street, framed by buildings that step back on either side.
The drawing is graphic and warm-toned. Ochres, soft reds and muted blues fill the avenue, with the tower picked out against a pale sky. Perspective lines run straight to the tower, and the scene is built from simplified blocks rather than fine detail, giving it the clean, printed look of a vintage poster brought up to date.
On a wall the print reads as a warm, optimistic view of the city. It suits a living room, an office or a hallway, and works well above a desk or sofa. Its retro palette of amber and rust pairs with wood, leather and warm neutrals, and it sits comfortably alongside other city and travel prints. . . . Read More >>
