How much is that Paint Can in the Window?

Passed by this store window outside of Anthropologie the other day. Interesting use of paint cans.

Rolled-Up Magazine Art

I will put this painting/sculpture by Lee Gainer in my mental file listed "Project #173 that I want to do, but probably never will." Now I finally have a meaningful way of disposing all of the magazines, catalouges, junk mail that I throw out every week.

Radvent, Day 8 - CREATING

I'm finally caught up with the Radvent schedule!
















Choose an object to symbolize your creativity and put it in a place you can see it every day.

This is a sculpture that I made for my first advanced studio in college. This is one of the only things from architecture school that I still have and display proudly. The assignment was to define a cube by using volumes. This assignment got me to think outside of the box and it also helped me to understand architecture as a volume, not just floors and walls. In the background is one of my marker sets. (This one is actually Hum-z's, but we share.) As a designer, I use color every day, whether I realize it or not. I even conducted a graduate semester-long project on how we perceive color. It was one of my favorite projects during grad school because I got to collect all of the data myself. I can't design anything without thinking about my color palette.
