Gretchen Carswell of MDB Communications in Washington DC commissioned Steven Noble to create the illustrations for the new DC Lotto tickets that represents their new Neighborhoods Campaign, celebrating the amazing communities that make up DC such as iconic DC sites like Ben’s Chili Bowl and the Chinatown gate, and Dance Place representing the best of DC’s unique arts and culture. The illustrations were rendered in a “classic” bold and graphic woodcut style and have been been very successful in reviving interest in these communities along with demand for these highly-prized collectible tickets.
The list of communities include some of the following:
Adams Morgan
Located in the heart of the city, the Adams Morgan neighborhood offers its diverse population a plethora of ethnic dining options and a thriving nightlife.
