artist conveys his admiration for LA through colorful illustrations of the city’s architectural treasures

california-based artist george townley conveys his admiration for the city of los angeles through amazing colorful renderings of its landmarks. with a sophisticated selection of hues and angles, townley’s pictures look like frames from some 60s movie — with a little touch of wes anderson style — where the city of angels shares its most sacred treasures, the architectural icons.
