For the Just for Laughs Toronto comedy festival, I created a vibrant cityscape illustration that captures the upbeat, contagious energy of comedy set against the backdrop of iconic Toronto architecture. Buildings become characters—smiling, laughing, and joining in the fun—while familiar landmarks and neighbourhood silhouettes anchor the scene in a playful, unmistakably local spirit. Using a bold palette and dynamic composition, the artwork celebrates both the scale of the festival and the personality of the city hosting it. From happy-faced venues to winking facades and pulsing crowds, the illustration turns Toronto into a living, laughing chorus—perfect for a festival built on joy, wit, and community. The final piece served as a hero visual for the event’s promotional materials, bringing a hit of warmth and character to one of the world’s most recognized comedy brands.
