Esteban Plazibat / Chicago Magazine / Let’s Get Lit: Chicago’s Summer Reads

Chicago Magazine commissioned Esteban Plazibat to create an illustration for the article “Let’s Get Lit: Chicago’s Summer Reads,” which highlighted some of the season’s most anticipated books. The selection featured works by local authors or stories set in Chicago, making them perfect summer reads—light, engaging, and unforgettable.

For Esteban, this project was a particularly rewarding experience, offering the opportunity to develop a visual piece that captured both the spirit of the city and the stories showcased in the article.
