FLAT DESIGN: HOMETOWN HOMAGE 01

HISTORY BEHIND 1st art:

I was born in a neighborhood called "Black Bridge".
Back in the day, a bridge was built over a railway to connect downtown with the upper meadows, but the train coal smoke was damaging the construction, so our government coated it in tar and whale-oil, which gave the bridge and neighborhood its name.
Here you can see a small art I made based on that, where the bridge itself fades, to convey the idea of a timeless landmark and the sunset is actually the train's lantern.

2nd:

Needless to say that as near as the 'equator line' you get, the whimsical the Sun and the world gets.
Now, on top of that throne of nature beauty, sits Brazil, with exuberant beaches and surreal twilights, some of which you can find at the coastline of the State of São Paulo.
Visions such as this one are engraved in my mind forever, alongside the Sea smell and noise while the day fades in the horizon...
