Bike with Mike
This spot illustration of Mayor Mike McGinn was commissioned by Seattle Met magazine’s Art Director, Benjamen Purvis. Apparently the Mayor of Seattle rides his bike to work every day. Writer Johnathon Fitzpatrick refers to him as the pedaling populist. “He inhales and exhales breaths as big and as earnest as his ideas. And he pedals. All the way to City Hall.”
Great stuff!
