Vahram Muratyan’s Paris versus New York is a book of fun illustrations comparing the two cities. I’ve always admired the collection because Muratyan doesn’t put down either place; instead, he paints a friendly, simple comparison between two cities he adores. Feeling inspired, I illustrated a spin-off featuring California’s most notable cities: San Francisco and Los Angeles.
