I chose this haiku specifically for the way it captures the feeling of Armory. I work downtown at Kitty Hoynes and often visit friends working at Metrosole and Specs right around the corner. We not only work, but also play downtown—making the bar hops and coffee shops all the more applicable. Armory reminds me of my home in Philadelphia.

The piece began as a line drawing intended to capture the architectural detail so characteristic of Armory. The background wash serves to add a playful flare and enhance the drawing with downtown's notorious brick reds and hunter greens.
