New York City –

Radio City Music Hall

Few signs capture the glamour of New York City quite like the glowing neon of Radio City Music Hall.

Opening in December 1932 and famously nicknamed “The Showplace of the Nation,” Radio City became one of New York’s great entertainment landmarks. Designed in the Art Deco style, the theatre brought together architecture, entertainment and spectacle on a scale worthy of the city surrounding it.

More than 90 years later, its unmistakable neon marquee remains one of Manhattan’s most iconic sights.

About the Artwork

For this vintage-inspired illustration, I wanted to capture Radio City at its most dramatic: glowing against the New York night.

The composition focuses on the theatre’s incredible marquee as it wraps around the corner of Sixth Avenue and 50th Street. Above it, the towering vertical signs climb the façade, illuminating the street with the unmistakable RADIO CITY name in brilliant neon.

There’s something magical about these old theatres after dark. The architecture is impressive on its own, but when the signs come alive, the entire building becomes part of the show.

That’s the feeling I wanted to capture here: the bright lights, Art Deco glamour and larger-than-life energy of a night in New York City.

Radio City has witnessed generations of performers, audiences and changing New York streets, yet those glowing letters remain instantly recognizable.

This illustration is my tribute to one of the great entertainment landmarks of New York and to an era when even the building knew how to put on a show.
