Corner Store on the Rise

This pen drawing turns a neighborhood streetscape into a clever pop-up construction, with the central facade of a small corner shop lifting upright from the page while the street and sidewalks unfold below it. Fine hatching and quick, searching lines describe utility poles, overhead wires, arched doorways, cobblestones, and a cluster of figures gathered at the storefront marked “CAMINITO.” The slightly skewed perspective and handmade structure give the work a lively, intimate character, as if an everyday urban corner has been remembered and rebuilt from affection rather than strict measurement.
