A small sketch idea?
There are many people (myself included) who would pay for a large print of this as is.

Firstly I want to comment on the style, I simply love the small people and cars at the bottom in contrast the the high-climbing skyscrapers above. There is always something appealing about messy art, and this has that appeal. The way the colours bleed out of their outlines and interact with the colours around them is amazing, and this brings me onto your choice of colour palette. The reds and oranges really create that "spanish vibe" you are were aiming at, and the way the colours change from red to green to blue as the piece goes further back is a really satisfying effect. Also the dark green plants on the dark red buildings create a subtle compliment, making the piece very appealing to the eye.

The two large buildings at the side frame the street, making the viewers eye wander down said street looking at all the details of the cars and shop fronts; then your eyes are pulled upwards by the instantly recognisable empire state building and the other skyscrapers towards the sky, before then looping back round into the street.

I am sure I could write even more about this, but as a critique this will do. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see even more cityscapes from you.
