Hi Paul,

A very nice graphism, you used well shadows and buildings. Cross-processing give a strange impression, quite opressive, but i would like to know much about this "prison"...

Regards,

Cedric

This used to be a council housing estate for people who could not afford they're own homes. This estate has now become Grade II listed, so its a preserved building never to be knocked down. As a result, the people who are living here now are onto a winner if they ever feel the need to sell their homes, I think they'd make a pretty penny, 'cos this place has become a desirable place to live in the heart of the city. It wasn't like that years ago.
Its created in a 'brutalist' style of architecture, (beton brut - raw concrete?).

Some housing estates here in the UK are like ghettos.
