My first paid freelance illustration work, a cover i drew for New City, an alt weekly paper in Chicago. The cover story by Ella Christoff was about pedestrian rights and traffic management in a major metropolitan city.
At the time i was living on the western edge of Logan Square, near Hermosa, and i wanted to capture my experience of the city in the Polish/Mexican/Puerto Rican enclave the near west side of Chicago.

Very cool! I live in Wicker Park. Where is this paper available? I'd love to snag a copy.
