City of Good Neighborhoods , 2026
Digital illustration on die-cut vinyl
Inspired by neon signs of the 1930s and beyond, this piece celebrates the city of Buffalo in a bright and dazzling display of light up signs. Advertising a range of local neighborhoods across the city, it displays the culture, traditions, and establishments that have been developed and cultivated by the community. While welcoming locals with an embrace of belonging and familiarity, it also invites newcomers and guests to dive in and experience all that Buffalo has to offer. It's a love letter to Buffalo and the people that make it a community to be proud of.
Special thanks to DKM for the printing and installation of this piece.
