Griffith Pillows
Description: Take a visual road trip through Los Angeles with a vibrant collage of palm-lined streets, convertible cars, Santa Monica Pier, Griffith Observatory, surfboards, tacos, sunglasses, and classic California lifestyle symbols. The playful comic-book treatment and controlled halftone texture create a nostalgic vintage city-guide souvenir.
Description: Discover Los Angeles through a cheerful retro travel-guide collage featuring palm-lined roads, Santa Monica Pier, Griffith Observatory, surf culture, convertible cars, tacos, citrus drinks, and the city's entertainment identity.

Description: The Mideast Side -- also known as "Mideast Los Angeles" and "MELA" -- is a region of Central Los Angeles (i.e. Hollywood, Downtown, Midtown, and the Mideast). It's the region of Los Angeles in which I live. I wrote a primer in 2011 and painted this version of the map, the third, a couple of years later. https://ericbrightwell.com/2011/03/16/california-fools-gold-a-mideast-side-primer/
