Line and Form

I am the biggest beastie boys fan you will ever meet, guaranteed, you wanna battle, you must be crazy. It took a while for me to wrap my head around the idea of this assignment and of course the answer to my dilemma is tacked up on my wall and resting on my bookshelf as well.

The artist I chose to research is Matteo Pericoli. His Drawing "Manhattan unfurled" was done with black pen while riding the ferry along the Manhattan east and west coast. It is printed in an accordion style book that unfolds 32 feet long. The Beastie Boys chose a portion of this work for the cover of their 2004 album which was dedicated to the resilient residents of New York City (their home town) titled, TO: The 5 Boroughs.

I based my drawing on the lower of the three Minneapolis drawing.

Same point of view as some of Pericoli's stuff so I figured i could take over from here. My Photo shop skills are still in the early stages so i based my free hand drawing on this photo and Pericoli's style.
