High-contrast black and white illustration looking up at a broad-shouldered man in a raccoon coat standing on an Art Deco balcony.

This stark ink and charcoal illustration captures the Art Deco Noir aesthetic of the 1920s. Rendered to mimic the crushed contrast and low-key lighting of orthochromatic film, the artwork employs a dynamic low-angle perspective and bold geometric shadows.
