I really like this guy's art deco style:

But his illustrations are pretty generic and/or lean towards French art deco. I was hoping maybe someone local does similiar work but illustrates Tulsa locations. In light of the recent depot fire, I was hoping maybe someone has done a nice streamlined art deco illustration of it.
I have seen his stuff around for ages and have always enjoyed his work. I have on occasion stolen a few of his ideas if that counts lol. Course knowing art like I do, I can tell where he got some of his. [;)] Thats often the way art is though. One of the ideas I have had to make money to get the Goddess of Oil Statue made was to do a series of posters in the art-deco style that had the statue and some of Tulsa's art-deco buildings in the background. Something along these lines.

I have been working on constructing a website with info about the statue and a way for people to donate. It just takes a bit more time trying to do all this stuff by yourself lol.
Here is the first page mock-up so far, without the buttons.

I think that statue would look awesome on top of the old union depot where the Jazz Hall of Fame is located.
