Super fun
July 22, 2008
I worked on the design and layout for this ad with Richard Woods, which just ran as a full page in Frieze. The exhibition is at Milton Keynes Gallery, full info here.

This modification to a sign is something of a landmark on Nevada’s I-95.

Brooklyn melons
June 28, 2008
I was in Brooklyn recently doing some preliminary work on a commission for the Brooklyn Historical Society. Here are some fruits of wanderings deep in the borough, including a real and counterfeit $10 bill, and (the last image) the dilapidated-but-charmtastic Avenue Q subway stop.

The dream imagined
June 26, 2008
Sign for the still-in-progress residential development of Goldewijk, in Almere, The Netherlands. The tagline is indeed: The Dream Imagined.
Below, two dwellings from Goldewijk. I’m impressed to see that the Dutch have so fully embraced postmodernism in their quasi-suburbia; these two piles are just down the street from one another, practically neighbors.

And the band played on

With that foot wedged up in there, resisting the drum kit’s urge to crowdsurf.

Work it girl, liven up that public sculpture
May 11, 2008Public sculpture with interpretive dance by Raquel Welch and some spacemen. The site is the Ruta de la Amistad sculpture project from the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Watch the clip here.

Face of suburbia
May 7, 2008I often feel a connection between architecture and portraiture when mingling in the built environment.
And further, in the making of a picture one tends unconsciously to portraitize any old object, i.e. to subtly anthropomorph one’s choice of composition.
These new ads for O2 take the two tendencies to a literal extreme.

Oddly compelling crapotecture
May 7, 2008Somewhere along the line the ground floor of this building derailed, and an odd adaptation of bricking over and reinserting windows took hold. The results make this standard English-brick crapotecture almost interesting.

Welkom in de trein
April 28, 2008The Netherlands is known for its rich art and design culture, and it should come as no surprise that trains are considered decorative spaces. A sampling of train art from journeys in Holland.

Murakami vader pounds a brew
April 23, 2008
Remix of poster ads for Star Wars, Murakami and beer. Love it when user generated crosses over into physical, public space. From the NYC subway.

America?
April 17, 2008
An invisible building? Given the armature around the steel frame, I’d suspect this structure is destined for some large-scale advertising while the plot is developed. From Leiden, Netherlands.
