Wow, I adore your work. Masterful in technical skill, but also so stylish too.
Ira Shander replied:
Thank you Andy. Ya gotta have art. Even in these temporarily grim times. I enjoy starting at one end and watch it all fill in like a huge puzzle. I like to slip into the period and identify with it. I never quite know how things will turn out. But they do. Cheers

Awesome pen and ink of City Happy, Ira! Brings back memories. My Aunt took me in the elevator up to to the statue...what a view! Interesting building, awesome artwork!!
Justin Foulkes
Amazing detail - I can't imagine the patience you need to create work like this.
Ira Shander replied:
Thanks Justin. I have my moments with patience. I do have unfinished pieces where I've lost steam. Then I go back later and finish them.

I admire your skill and eye for detail. My son used to live just two blocks from there. Well done, Ira. - Mike (V)

excellent
Ira Shander replied:
Thanks, Sandy. Philadelphians take their city hall for granted. But it's quite a building both inside and out.
Meg Shearer
Amazing work Ira! Very very impressive! I love the history here too. (poor Wanamaker's...)
Ira Shander replied:
To native Philadelphians, City Hall is every day. To foreigners it must be pretty spectacular.
