New York-New York

Like with everything in Las Vegas: all is larger than life.
It's hard to imagine that anything would be able to surpass the real New York, but here it is: a condensed version of NYC. All famous sights available within a hundred meters, evenly spread among rows of slot machines. And they were even able to fit in a rollercoaster....
I made the drawing in the shade of the Excalibur Casino across the street, but at a certain point the burning sun hit my head and I had to stop. Sweat was dripping on the paper. So I coloured the drawing at home.

Thanks Rob. It was one of those rare occasions that you feel the drawing is going to work, even while drawing it.
