Keith Alexander Lee, Illustrator, San Francisco

Description

An illustration features a businessman standing at the foot of a visually distorted crosswalk. The crosswalk is painted with yellow stripes on a grey surface, but each stripe ascends like a stair step, creating an optical illusion and a metaphorical representation of rising or advancing. The businessman, viewed from the back, is dressed in a dark suit and carries a briefcase. The illustration is set in an outdoor setting with strong sunlight creating shadows that give the steps a more realistic dimension. The color palette is simple and focuses on the contrast between the yellow, grey, and black of the businessman's attire.
