The People Under the Bridge


This illustraton was done for the Miami New Times. The story was on how the city has made it impossible for sexual offenders to legally live anywhere in Miami and have been forced to live underneath a bridge that fits within the guidelines of how close they can be to a school. The art director liked some of the fairy tale elements from my portfolio and wanted me to use that style for this particular piece. I most worried about drawing the bridge and making that look interesting, but not fussy. I kept its design very basic and added textural elements in photoshop. I had a ton of fun drawing the faces underneath the bridge. That's the place in the illustration where I allowed myself the freedom to be as detailed as I wanted.
