I whipped this up after doing a series of sketches. The initial sketches I imagined doing a city scape with the river below it. The sketch was very rough and it just didn’t feel right and the words didn’t blend well.
I thought about making the illustration blockier.
Then I thought about using the initials as part of the “grass and trees” of the city and using the negative space below as the river.
