British GQ Magazine David Hockney Los Angels Map Drawing

British GQ Magazine David Hockney

British GQ Magazine David Hockney Los Angels Map Drawing. I was approached by an editor for GQ magazine to draw a map of Los Angeles iconic sites. In addition to visual reference within the sketch of David Hockney sites – eg the Museum of Modern Art, LA Louver Gallery and The Hotel Roosevelt.

LA has many well recognized stylized ‘LA’ typographic signage for example like the Beverly Hills hotel, Roosevelt, Hollywood the Hollywood Sign.

I was given a list of other points of interests to include into the LA map which also included, Venice Beach, Lawry’s ‘Prime Rib’ (a nice big piece of Prime Rib was drawn for fun to represent this)

The map was loosely drawn, and a representation of LA, which the client preferred, the full list of the locations for the map drawing are below
