Expressive hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, square 1:1. One absurdly wide, squat teal tote with two elongated, unequal loop handles leans slightly across the lower-left portion of a warm cream ground. Its solid silhouette contains a large cream negative-space cutout of a simple civic portico: broad triangular pediment, chunky columns and a continuous base. Interrupt the regular column spacing with one conspicuously missing column, leaving a double-width gap beneath the intact pediment—a quiet public-budget metaphor. Architecture is a cutout within the bag, not a separate building or printed label. Broad marker fills, slightly uneven edges, minimal overlapping stroke texture, flat colours, no shading or intricate detail. Strong thumbnail readability and generous breathing room above and right. One object, no people, no coins, no diagram. No text, logos or watermarks.
