Excerpt from the plaque:
From Line to Form
Brian Donnelly began his artistic journey at the age of 12 with graffiti – a style of art that breaks convention. He began tagging the streets of his hometown, Jersey City, eventually branching out to Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. This was the formative period when he developed his artist persona KAWS and several of his signature motifs. In 1993 he enrolled in Manhattan’s School of Visual Arts, where he received technical training. This salon-style hang of works reveals his love of drawing and his dedication to refining his skill.
KAWS’s time as a graffiti artist was foundational to what would become the ethos of his current practice: claiming public spaces, communicating with broad audiences, and self-promotion through creating.

Snowflakes come in many more forms than you can imagine – including the “fuzzy caterpillar” variety! View large!
At warmer temperatures (just under the freezing point of water), snowflakes can grow into columns and needles. This type of growth is common, but many of the snowflakes are too small or distorted by the time they reach the ground, as the ground temperatures are likely warmer than the temperatures in the sky. Occasionally we see a storm that produces very long column-type snowflakes that take on a mind of their own. There are a few things happening here worth discovering!
All of the lines running off the column are plates, should show that the snowflake entered colder temperatures or higher humidity. These plates don’t just randomly start growing off the sides, though the snowflake would naturally grow one plate on either end. In the middle, these plates require a “nucleation site”, some deformation in the surface of the main column for which a new crystal structure can start to grow. In this case, the main column likely encounter some super-cooled water droplets that were still liquid, but when making contact with the column froze on impact. These little additions would be exactly what you need to start new plate-like growth at each point of impact.
That idea is further supported by the balls of ice you see along this crystal. The term here is “sleet”, or frozen water drops / pellets. This happens when the temperature of super-cooled water drops continues to decrease or some turbulence causes them to freeze solid without impacting a snowflake. Sleet isn’t that common, we saw it only twice last year. These tiny pellets of ice adorn the larger structure; many of them could probably be shaken off, but some might have begun to fuse to the crystal structure itself.
All of these conditions together are quite unusual, and with all the snowflakes I’ve photographed I’ve only seen a small handful of weather systems produce anything remotely like this. While all snowflakes are unique, some definitely fall outside of what we think is possible!
Photographing these snowflakes is quite a challenge. With so many shifts in depth and overlapping elements, I can usually add an hour to the editing process when putting one of these together. It’s worth it, however! I love sharing the curiosities of winter, and this one is certainly an enigma.
For more weird and wonderful snowflakes and how they form, check out Sky Crystals: www.skycrystals.ca/book/ - it will also detail every photographic technique I use for “regular” snowflakes, as well as these unusual skyborne creations that require a slightly different approach. It’s never been more affordable with the current US exchange rate for folks south of the 49th parallel!

This is a picture of kids running through the steam spray at the zoo. It's a cool refreshing spray to help on those hot days at the zoo. The picture looks like the children are running into some mysterious fog. That's how I start most mornings. Have a wonderful Monday and work week everyone. Thanks for eveything! Hugs!

In 1917-1918, Michel de Klerk, commissioned by Eigen Haard, designed a third housing complex for workers on Spaarndammerplantsoen: Het Schip (The Ship).
Completed in 1921, the complex represents the pinnacle of the Amsterdam School and De Klerk's oeuvre. It exemplifies how beautiful social housing can be. It combines mass and individuality. While it is a large block of houses, each unit offers something unique.
Facade detail on Oostzaanstraat
The apartments part (red brick finish) is clearly differentiated from the "public" part (common areas, school, post office ...etc. in dark brick finish and high windows).

In 1917-1918 ontwerpt Michel de Klerk in opdracht van Eigen Haard een derde woningcomplex met arbeiderswoningen aan het Spaarndammerplantsoen: Het Schip.
Het complex werd in 1921 opgeleverd en vormt het hoogtepunt van de Amsterdamse School en van het oeuvre van De Klerk. Het is een voorbeeldproject van hoe fraai sociale woningbouw kan zijn. Er is een koppeling tussen massa en individualiteit. Het is een groot blok woningen, maar toch heeft iedere woning iets unieks.
Geveldetail aan de Oostzaanstraat
Het appartementengedeelte (afgewerkt met rode bakstenen) is duidelijk te onderscheiden van het "openbare" gedeelte (gemeenschappelijke ruimtes, school, postkantoor, enz., afgewerkt met donkere bakstenen en hoge ramen).

El Fontán es hoy en día una plaza de forma rectangular que está situada en el casco antiguo de Oviedo. Su nombre proviene de la fuente manantial ó fontán que llenaba la primitiva laguna que se encontraba en esa zona. En los inicios de la ciudad de Oviedo se trataba de una laguna natural a las afueras de la ciudad, la cual era abastecida por manantiales natrurales que brotaban en la zona y rápidamente se convirtió en zona de recreo de los nobles ovetenses. Durante este tiempo los campesinos que vivína en las afueras de la ciudad, se acercaban hasta este lugar a vender sus productos (leche, verduras, quesos, gallinas, etc.), con este incesante movimiento no tardaron en aparecer los artesanos tales como herreros, cesteros, etc. y así poco a poco se fue formando un mercado que perdurará hasta nuestros días y convirtiéndose por aquel entonces en el primer núclo comercial a extramuros de Oviedo. Tras esta primera etapa este mercado que se formaba de manera espontánea acabó siendo regulado por el ayuntamiento, el cual controloba la calidad y la entrada de productos a cambio de impuestos. Debido a que la laguna empezaba a representar un problema sanitario por su insalubridad se decidió desecarla. En la primera mitad del siglo XVII se decide la construcción de una obra de carácter público que se convertiría en un corral de comedias; tras sucesivas reformas y ampliaciones, que intentaron adecuar su inflexible estructura de patio de comedias, fue relevado por el teatro Campoamor. El 11 de junio de 1792 el ayuntamiento acomete una de las reformas más importantes hasta aquel entonces, esta reforma, dirigida por el arquitecto municipal asturiano Francisco Pruneda y Cañal, el cual diseña la plaza como un lugar rectangular, abierto por cuatro entradas y con cuarenta casillas o departamentos para tiendas, de planta y piso, recorridas en su perímetro interior y externo por un pórtico de columnas. La obra concluyó sin que se siguiera el proyecto inicial lo que produjo la existencia de varias alturas en la plaza. Los almacenes de las tiendas se fueron convirtiendo en viviendas de inquilinos y varios edificios se modificaron durante el siglo XIX aunque con ello no llega a perder el espíritu con el que fue concebida inicialmente. Ya a finales del siglo XX, en 1981 la dirección General del Patrimonio Artístico realiza una restauración de la plaza, si bien esta restauración no frena el deterioro en el que se ve inmersa la plaza y que culmina en 1996 con la controvertida decisión del derribo y demolición total de la plaza, execepto la esquina en dónde se asienta la sidrería Casa Ramón que había sido restaurada por el propietario. Tras este derribo la plaza se vuelve a construir y el 7 de mayo de 1997 es inaugurada por el alcalde Sr. D. Gabino de Lorenzo Ferrera. Hoy en día los jueves, sábados y domingos sigue habiendo mercado en las calles exteriores al fontán y en la plaza Daoíz y Velarde colindante con el fontán. También existe una plaza de abastos cubierta que abre todos los días de la semana excepto el domingo y en la cual se venden pescado, carne, queso y todo tipo de productos típicos asturianos

Formed about 25 million years ago, the spectacular limestone formation of Wawel Hill is not the solid piece of rock it appears to be, but rather filled with eerie caves and crawl spaces. As legend would have it, the craggy chambers beneath Wawel were once home to Smok Wawelski, or the Wawel Dragon, a particularly nasty creature who liked nothing more than to gorge himself on sheep and local maidens. Story goes that as the village ran out of virgins, the King promised the hand of his only daughter to the hero who could vanquish the vile beast. Wave upon wave of brave knights fell beneath the dragon's fiery breath before a poor cobbler named Krak tricked Smok into eating a sheep stuffed full of sulphur, which instantly ignited inside his gullet. With an unquenchable thirst the dragon went and drank half the river before his distended belly exploded and the town was freed of his wrath. Krak married the princess, of course, became king, built his castle on the dragon's lair and the people built a city around it named 'Kraków' after their saviour king.
Smok's bones were hung triumphantly outside the entrance of the Cathedral, where they remain today. His cave became a famous tavern and brothel during medieval times. The stairway leads to the caves leads which goes through under the castle courtyard to outside the complex by the riverbank, right in front of Smok's sculpted bronze likeness unveiled in 1972 to a design by the local artist Bronisław Chromy. The sculpture occasional provides fire-breathing bliss.
The Dissolution of all Forms
How are we decoupling from the modernist grand dream?
Metamodernist discussion by artist JJFBbennett
We were the grand Modernist dream: an architecture of logic, forged in steel and sequential gears. We believed that if we built the machine perfectly, we could grind reality into absolute order. The systems grew too dense, the data too interconnected, and the grand narratives too rigid. We didn't break under the weight; we dissolved.
It is not a violent destruction, but a profound release. The solid form is falling asleep, and the diffuse network is waking up.
We have moved beyond the machine. To survive the saturation of the modern world, we had to become the cloud—ubiquitous, ambiguous, and free. The structure is gone, but the consciousness remains, finding its true resilience not in the armour, but in the mist.

History:
Third synthetic life form and carrier of the Reality Engine. Like her three siblings, Paragon was built by the Predecessors to find and retrieve the Fountain of Life from its inter-dimensional hiding place. Unlike her siblings, though, Paragon was successful in contacting the artifact. Not much is known about what happened when Paragon contacted the fountain, but when she returned from her journey she turned on her creators. With newfound knowledge of the origins and inner workings of the universe, Paragon acted as an angel of protection for her home planet, using her Reality Engine to defend it from natural disasters and malevolent forces.
Personality:
Paragon is a confident and brave individual. She sees it as her duty to defend her home planet, and she appreciates every chance she gets to learn more about the people who inhabit it. While she isn't the best at interacting with people, she lets her actions show her care for others.
Abilities:
Paragon carries the Reality Engine, a dimensional generator. The engine allows Paragon to create a region in which she has god-like control over reality. When using her engine in an affected region, Paragon can move objects with her mind, manipulate gravity, control air pressure and temperature, and more. Overuse of her engine will tire Paragon, forcing her to rest between uses. Paragon carries A broadsword, a buckler, and four remotely controlled wing blades. When her Reality Engine is active, Paragon can combine her tools to form Enki, the Reality Blade. Paragon can move this giant sword at will only in regions affected by her engine, but even with such a limitation, the sword's raw destructive power cannot be denied.
Build notes:
Well, it only took 4 years to build her. I've been wanting to do this concept since I first built Avalon. While the build isn't too innovative (I reused a lot of Svella's design) it does refine several of the concepts used in Svella. Oh yeah, and the mask is painted! This my first attempt at a painted mask, so it is a tad messy, but I'm happy with it!
Intuitive Forms should emerge from a concious consideration of the discovered environment, requirement and potentiality of the project

This was some kind of fun shot to use the golden sunset light for something creative. Maybe you can guess what you see.
Yesterday I spent another shooting day with Ed and the results are great. You definitely have to follow his stream as well because he is going to publish a really cool image of myself these days. I think I will inform you about that another time when he published it but keep it in mind in case I forget it.
