The Motor City License Plate Art
Thought everyone would enjoy pics of a piece I created awhile back called The Motor City. It was created using the back side of two plates, lettering from plates throughout the 1960s and 70s, and a few extra shards from other plates to make the clouds and the tanker. The sun is a piece of a yellow license plate positioned right behind the Penobscot Building.
I created a series of these for other cities including Chicago and San Antonio. However due to larger projects, I have not been able to work on miniature skylines like these recently.
Prints of this Detroit piece are available here, and can be framed and matted.
