all of the impossible to reach parts are finished well enough for final paint...
the edges and around the nose of the arrow still needs some work.

I stopped at the ride light at Michigan Avenue and 35th Street, had this funny feeling, something was just not right, something was incomplete, unfinished and hanging in my awareness like an invisible roll of cold steel on the back of a flat bed truck. It came and went, like the completion of something very incomplete.
In Tucson, CultureStrike artists were able to complete two butterfly murals and we shared them at an arts and music festival, where a number of people took photos in front of the butterfly. This is where we kicked off the Butterfly Crossing campaign, which was originally conceptualized at the 2012 Creative Change gathering in Utah.

I'm really happy with it. I finished it at the end of Jan. Just now getting time to work some of my photos. First test shot below.
The wife and I day tripped up to Rockford, IL last week. The first of two stops was the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Laurent House. Completed in 1952, the home is Wright's only wheelchair-accessible design (Ken Laurent was a disabled WW2 vet), and one of only eleven hemicycle Usonians in his extensive portfolio of work. The design features a semi-circular or crescent-shaped design, also known as a "solar hemicycle". These homes are characterized by their passive solar heating principles, with a south-facing glass wall to capture sunlight and a more protected, often earth-bermed, northern side. Pictured here is the view of the house's cove - with it's floor-to-ceiling windows looking south.
The red tile is interesting. From Steve Sikora, owner, the FLW-designed Willey House: "Anyone familiar with the architecture and design of Frank Lloyd Wright is aware that he employed a bright red square as his artist’s chop or seal of authentication on much of his work. His red square lives on today in the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation’s corporate identity as well as in countless other organizational, brand and product niches associated with Wright. The act of signing a work of art with a seal was standard practice in Asian block printing. Wright was a prolific collector of Japanese prints and found deep inspiration in them, particularly, in way they simplified the expression of space without perspective. He thus adopted the use of a red square as his mark.
Apocryphal myths have persisted concerning the red tiles, oft repeated by docents and on occasion, even memorialized in print. Chief among them is the idea that Wright awarded these tiles only to buildings that he believed were completed to his complete satisfaction or those of which he was most proud. Though widely-accepted and endlessly-repeated, this premise has no basis whatsoever in fact. For example, Fallingwater, a singular building and arguably the one for which he is best known, bears no red tile, nor any red square for that matter!
The idea that Wright initialed these clay tiles himself is another fallacy. Frank Lloyd Wright commissioned the first few signature tiles in 1951. He learned that Jeannette Pauson Haber, sister to Rose Pauson (as in the demolished Pauson House in Phoenix, 1939) was a talented amateur ceramicist. Wright approached her with the proposition of making him some glazed tiles.
Over the next few years Haber periodically created small batches of tiles, fired in her home studio, which was located in the San Francisco Bay area.
Tiles were conferred from 1951 onward. Only two buildings built prior to 1951 got a tile retroactively. Many fine buildings erected in the 1950s were never graced with a tile."
So the Laurent house, getting one in 1952, marked it as one of the first to ever get one.
This was originally intended to be a picture of the completed model, except I'd missed out one aerial. I've uploaded this photo because it shows the plane's colours much better than the other photos do.
After completing the ISASP tests last Friday, students at Lincoln High School had fun with games and activities throughout the school. From laser tag to a dunk tank to Legos and games, Railsplitters had fun after rigorous testing. (Jon Lemons/Des Moines Public Schools)
A 5k Shadow Run was completed this morning on Bagram Airfield in support of Airborne Tri Team; a nonprofit 501c3 organization specifically designed for mentally and physically wounded war veterans. The central focus of Airborne Tri Team is to provide wounded veterans with opportunities, physical challenges, and goal oriented physical achievements meant to maximize their potential and increase their self-esteem through their involvement in the team. Over 400 runners and 30 volunteers participated in this morning’s event. Lt. Col Michael Stinnett, an engineer officer from Fort Drum assigned to the USFOR-A Engineer Cell, was the local organizer for the 5K shadow run. “I became involved with Team Tri Airborne when I was in recruiting command on Long Island. The have proven themselves as great supporters of the military. This is an organization doing great things for our wounded warriors,” said Stinnett. “To see so many people come out across all services and show support for their brother and sisters in arms was amazing.”
The actual 5K run will take place on the 23rd of July in Sayville, New York. This year will be the 4th year of the event. Thank you Airborne Tri Team and all the others volunteers and sponsors of this event to bring awareness and opportunity for some of our wounded warriors on Long Island and New York City.
