Chicago Retro Anime Travel Poster

Chicago is a city built by people who refused to let a little thing like being burned entirely to the ground stop them from building one of the greatest architectural skylines in the world. The Willis Tower (Sears Tower to locals, and they will correct you) defined the word "skyscraper." The Art Institute holds Sunday on La Grande Jatte and American Gothic and Nighthawks — basically the Mount Rushmore of American art, except indoors and climate-controlled. And the deep-dish pizza is not a pizza; it is a commitment. This poster captures Chicago in warm 1990s anime cel style — the Magnificent Mile's skyline rendered in soft hand-drawn glass and steel, the Chicago River dyed its famous St. Patrick's Day green (yes, they dye the entire river, and yes, it's as absurd and wonderful as it sounds), and Cloud Gate — "The Bean" — reflecting cel-shaded Millennium Park in its polished surface. Wrigley Field's marquee glows in retro red. Lake Michigan stretches to the horizon in vintage blues. Printed on 200 gsm matte paper with archival inks.
