About

Welcome to The JW Blog, a personal blog focused on illustrations and the local Detroit area. This blog was created to share original artwork, visual stories, and an honest look at the people, neighborhoods, and culture that make Detroit what it is today.

Each post on The JW Blog features illustrations paired with writing about Detroit, from its architecture and street corners to its events and everyday moments. The goal is to document the city in a way that feels real and grounded, not polished or filtered. Readers can expect new illustrations, local spotlights, and posts that explore Detroit from a personal point of view.

The JW Blog is run by one person with a sketchbook and a deep connection to this city. There are no sponsored posts or editorial guidelines here, just a blog built around curiosity and a love for drawing. Whether you grew up in Detroit or are learning about it for the first time, there is something here worth seeing.
