Kensington Sighted in the Mouth of a Shark

I made this drawing for my friend/roommate Mike Shark, a man who swims with the other (figurative) sharks of Philadelphia. I was overwhelmed by how many different universes I could make appear in the shark's mouth-- it is so big, so vast, with so much real estate. I settled on a scene of the intersection of Front and Norris Sts., close to the El. I figured it was like a snapshot of where we live, and how also, at any moment, Mike Shark himself could bare his shark teeth at the creatures swimming around Kensington, and swiftly shred them into pieces.
