Oh awesomeness personified!! This makes my day, couldn't tell you why exactly... I'll bet my boots that part of it is because you have Queen Latifa and John Travolta in one of your pieces 
Fantastic as usual, I could spend days just looking at all the details. It's funny how you can make something so ordinary absolutely extraordinary.
Say... you wouldn't happen to have taken pictures somewhere...oh, I don't know... on Broadway, with a Phantom of the Opera poster somewhere in the picture?

Don't forget who's taking you home, and in whose arms you're gonna be,
So darling, save the last dance for me. ♫

Way cool, Denis. I particularly like the folks just clearing the intersection and the light on the building above Han's Food. To quote ~ja5on, "I wish I could see it up close."

Yes, although virtually all of it was brushed, I did use airbrush to soften edges and shadows as well as to create the illusion of strong lighting in certain areas..
Hey thanks, Foxxy! There were so many little gritty details to replicate, without sacrificing an overall balanced composition. Finding the right colors to give life to some otherwise dreadfully dull areas was key to taking this out of the ordinary and into the hyperreal.
Hmm, I haven't seen Phantom of the Opera billboards, but if I do, I will certainly keep you in mind.

Thanks Jason, you probably will at some point if you make the trip over to London, although this one may well end up showing in NY. I had to pull out all the stops to stabilize it as a single composition, one of the more difficult ones I have tackled recently, with lots of very complex and subtle lighting effects bouncing around and about.
What a lovely thing to say, thank you very much...
Thanks Katherine, each of those figures was a lot of fun to give just enough life and character to add to the reality of the scene. Interesting that you caught that bit of lighting, as it did add another dimension to that side of the piece.
This is one of those pieces where the work up close is so much richer and bolder than anything I could ever capture with my camera. Guess that's why I wasn't in a rush to post it, had to just take a deep breath and do it!
