denver museum of contemporary art by david adjaye.



cool bathroom handles.

the guardrails were metal plates and there was a weld, a few inches down from the top, in the reveal to hold them together, ground smooth through the painted plate and the grinding was not painted over.

benches in one fo the galleries.

outline lettering in the childrens/activity area called the "idea box".

original model.


denver art museum addition by libeskind.
interior was kind of boring.

the bench installed by double butter was gone (i looked for it.

the collection had some cool stuff.

i really like this aerial photograph of long beach by Florian Maier-Aichen;

Vertical planted wall system at the Anthropologie store going in just outside of huntsville, al. It has angled planting cells, and it look like irrigation hose running behind, and there was a copper gutter along the ground below to catch run-off. The corner detailing was a little brutal.


My father has a pneumatic 55-gallon-drum crusher. the crushed drum weighs over 50lbs.

Failed graphic.
"the shaved head is the new mustache of law enforcement".
Originally this started as a joke about how all cops now shave their heads.
and it was originally going to be sort of a homoerotic cop on cop locker room shaving incident, but when two dudes are in underwear how do you tell they are cops.
it then turned into the next image.
I have no excuse for the carribean/african colors.
I like the idea of defining an identity by all of the facial trappings, I would be interested in reusing it divorced from the dumb cop joke.
like aviators/beards/mustaches and plastic framed glasses--all of my accoutrements.
