Illustration Friday - "metropolitan"

This one i decided to experiment with first doing the illustration in vector then bringing it into photoshop, trying to make it look like a vintage poster or something. Once I saw a building at night which looked like it had a face and i was wondering what it would be like if it came alive. And no, i don't use drugs.
