I have seen various pictures that are cartoon drawings of "famous" landmarks of certain cities. For example a Cleveland picture would have the TT, Key Tower, Jacobs Field, and Browns Stadium.I was wondering if anyone knows what the hell I am talking about, and if anyone knows where I could purchase them?

 

Sorry for being so vague, and thanks for any info.

You might be referring to Hector Vega's work:

Or you might be talking about Dale Gallis:

Thanks!

 

The exact one I was looking for was black and white, but I really like the one by Dale Gallis.

Wow, very nice! Do these exist for other Ohio cities?

Woolybear - did you mean Paul Duda?

ink, I'm not sure about other cities - you'd have to check their sites.

Got anything by LeRoy Neiman?

I love Google :-)

As far as local depictions go, don't forget Viktor Schreckengost, http://www.bonfoey.com/gallery_of_artists/schreckengost.htm. And while straying away from paintings, I would have to put Margaret Bourke-White's depictions of Cleveland at the top of the list of "Art Clevelanders Should Own": http://www.clevelandart.org/explore/artist.asp?artistLetter=B&recNo=231.

Damn, Vega, not bad at all! ...remnds me of Demuth a bit or Feiniger.

 

 

"As far as local depictions go, don't forget Viktor Schreckengost,"

 

Absolutely - I have a print of this image:

 

And a signed poster of this image:

Or how about this great one of Public Square/Civic District?

 

 

Hmm, I appreciate it for what it is but it's not my favorite that he's done. I prefer the style seen in the first image I posted. I know he has a Cleveland piece similar to that.

...

That's the one! :)

ooh, nice to know
