Cityscapes.

Alli Jacobson emailed to let me know about her Cityscape series. She purchased 100 pieces of heavy square stock and decided to create a series of, yes, cityscapes. Some in full-on vibrant colors, some liney and black and white and some right in between. You can check out the full spectrum at her shop, but in the meantime here are a few of my favorites.

Valentine’s Day Sweets.
