My submission for Illustration Friday's "Sacrifice" is titled "Homeland". I published this card to commemorate the first holiday season following September 11, 2001 to honor the lives that were sacrificed on 911. The inside reads: Peace On Earth Goodwill to all Mankind.
Homeland copyright 2001
I didn't want to exclude any buildings or countries I just wanted to paint buildings that were fun and recognizable
