San Juan in the 19th Century

Posted on November 5, 2014November 5, 2014 by rommelj

I was commissioned to do a set of pen and ink illustrations for an upcoming book on the City of San Juan. This kept me occupied for the past two weeks as I tried to fit in hours of cross-hatching with my day job. My hand was aching after I finished the entire set. Now I remember why I don’t do that much pen and ink work.

These drawings are merely interpretations of the descriptions in the book; although I did try as much as I could to research and be historically accurate.

Rommel was born in tropical Philippines, which is an odd melting pot of Southeast Asian, Hispanic and American influences. He loves smelling books and drawing people when they're not looking. http://rommeljoson.com View all posts by rommelj
