City in Chains

I originally devised this project in 2014 as a reaction to Manhattan’s rapidly changing retail landscape. It was both a fun design exercise that would also serve as a commentary on the unchecked corporate invasion on a city that once prided itself on its refusal to embrace suburban values. I recently updated the artwork to reflect the updated branding of some of the brands originally featured.
