structures/skylines

i thought of more than just draw-sketching these parking structures, but architectualizing them, surveying them, measuring them with eyes and minds and bodies -(oh what a place it would be to skate and cruise on under that big city sky, on the smooth rooftop!)- to essentially conceptualize the thrill inspired by these massive concrete and metal structures, flesh and glass skylines..

Children in the Stairwell


This is just a preview of the mural inside one of the stairwells of the Church St. Parking Deck near the downtown public library. Check it out if you get the chance, and more images will be on the way after another excursion in that direction.

Parking Decks Project Feat. THE FLAMING LIPS

parking lot experiments! -These were the precursor to the Boombox Experiments and the band's beautiful album Zaireeka, which features 4 discs meant to be listened to simultaneously on 4 different players. Eureka!
