Reply to comment by seafoodgodddd in I drew the view from inside the Statue of Liberty's crown by cynicaldesigner

Thank you, yeah I had to book a couple of months ahead of my visit in March. The statue itself; best viewed from a distance on the boats, but the crown platform is something special (and worth the exercise!). Ellis Island too was a worthwhile experience, visiting from Ireland the immigration history was very important to learn.

​

Didn't get to do the SummitOV, but will likely do it on my next visit. However, I visited Top of the Rock. I've a sketchbook of rough ideas I did on my trip, I might do a series of NYC illustrations in my free time somewhere down the line.

Thanks for mentioning ellis island btw, that's a spot a lot of people just sail right by on the way back to manhattan but it's so packed with history that a LOT of us can directly trace our family trees through and it's quite eye opening to how different the world is now

And I'd love to see what you make out of top of the rock! Your art style lends itself really well to high buildings it seems just based on this piece, it really captures that sense of vertigo I had up there
