San Antonio is drawn the way it is actually seen, with one tall thing and a lot of low ones. The tower gives the line its height and the arcades give it its texture.
What is in the drawing
Two slabs open the left, then the tower: a slender stem carrying a saucer deck with an antenna above it, standing well clear of the roofline. The middle of the drawing stays low, a long arcaded building with a small dome and a run of narrow openings beneath it. From there the line climbs a spired tower and a high-rise with a squared crown, passes a building with two turrets, and finishes on a small pavilion with a peaked roof.
Who buys it
A family present in a city full of them. Reunions, a posting to one of the bases that ended somewhere else, grandparents who never moved. The 15oz mug is the one to send when it is going to somebody who drinks coffee all day.
Mug or canvas
One tall thing and a lot of low ones makes this more compact than most of the wide skylines here, so it centres on a mug without much shrinking. Going on a wall, the low arcaded middle is the part that repays size: small, it is a run of narrow openings, and large it becomes a building.
