I was alone in Paris, and was in a mood, so I created something. I sketched out la Notre Dame de Paris while in front of her, then added the figures later. This one was trapped in my head for a while, glad it's finally out.
Small update... This artwork got published in a special Notre-Dame hard-cover issue of a French magazine. It is uncredited as per my request. And the editor decided to leave the ‘artist profile’ page completely blank in my honor. This ode to anonymity makes me happy, somehow.

This pleases me. And the fact that the upper-left corner of the previous page has the word 'Escape' is oddly fitting. Congratulations on getting published.
Yeah,Chase I wish that painting would've been nice on the cover of the New Yorker magazine as well.
And Yes could be a good idea to those editors to keep your name uncredited too.
Yesterday, while watching a streamer, I learned something cool about the Eiffel Tower. The 72 names engraved on the Eiffel Tower belong to French scientists, engineers, and mathematicians who supported the building process. These golden letters are located on the first level (the lowest platform) of the tower, just beneath the balcony that runs around the structure.
Other things I learned about it: The stairs only go up to the 2nd floor. After that you have to take an elevator. The original spiral staircase was sold for scrap.
