Los Angeles Icons Lovingly Illustrated by George Townley

February 26, 2019

Los Angeles is a huge and sprawling place, full of stories and personalities. George Townley captures some of the city’s iconic buildings and places in warm and bright illustrations. His style has been called Wes Anderson-like, but we’d just called it inviting. His series includes some major icons as well as lesser known architectural treats, like Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House, and the “Dingbat” house. Via DesignBoom:
