Editorial illustration for the Washington Post's travel site By The Way.

By The Way features city guides with tips and insights from a local perspective covering 50 cities around the world and I was commissioned to letter and illustrate the name of my hometown Istanbul.

Istanbul is a complicated city in terms of streets and getting around, so I wanted to create a composition with lines to reflect this atmosphere. I've also added some details hinting at the features of the city - seagulls, waves of the Bosphorus and the T working as the bridge.
