The Tech City

I made this drawing for the cover of Renew Canada, out on newstands right nowish.  They asked me to come up with a futuristic looking city, which I did, and then they told me to clean it up and make it look shinier and more well-functioning and happier, which made me question why they’d hired me at all in the first place, if a shiny and contented version of the future was what they were after.  A couple of versions later this is what we ended up with, all slick and working and sparkly and, secretly, in the back of my conniving little mind, a small chunk of the earth that was blown to high hell a few centuries earlier, still floating around each other in some kind of atmosphere, still working just fine, but still just barely hanging on after the worst has happened.
