Broadway Nights by Koldo Barroso

I’ve never been in Broadway. I wish I had been there in the 40’s watching some terrific play by Elia Kazan or Tennessee Williams. But my spirit travels there when I do a work like this. I listen to Glenn Miller and for a second I could swear I’ve been there.

One of the dearest memories from my childhood is going to the movies in Madrid on Friday nights. It was the 60’s and the night lights and movie theatre marquees along the Gran Via used to be for me something really breathtaking. I tried to capture the same feeling in this illustration.

I did this illustration last year as a vector work, originally it was just the car. Then, I decided I could do something better and then I did the background scene. I was never satisfied with this vector work, I always felt there was a lot more behind it if I could work to get the right atmosphere. So I decided to finish the illustration and this is the final result. It hasn’t been used commercially yet, but I hope it can be sometime.
