This is a globe that I painted for my 3D project in Anna Vaughan's Color Interaction class at Laney. It's meant to demonstrate what Josef Albers called "inherent light", perceived when two gradients cross each other.

Cool Globes debuted in Chicago with a June 1, 2007 grand opening celebration attended by more than 500 people, including artists, sponsors, business and civic leaders, and children. This public event featured a news conference with Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, the unveiling of eight globes, refreshments and live entertainment. Cool Globes' educational partner, the Field Museum, also hosted more than 230 CPS students who learned about climate change before attending the event. The globes were displayed along Chicago's lakefront, from the Museum Campus to Navy Pier, from June 1 to September 30, 2007.
Cool Globes was launched in Chicago because of the City's leadership and dedication to promoting environmentally sound policies. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley's goal is to make his city the greenest in the nation through the promotion of environmental programs and practices, including a bike initiative, adding hybrid buses to the city's mass transit system, and building "green" libraries, public schools and police stations. Mayor Daley served as honorary co-chair of the Chicago Cool Globes project.
My fact finding husband determined that this globe was manufactured between 5/23/49 and 10/7/49. Way to go, Tom!
A globe which has been covered in a snowy canvas? Of COURSE I'm going to draw my own! Unfortunately, the South Pacific fell away as I was outlining the Chilean coast. Oh well.
"Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal....He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven."

This is the Globe Trading Company building. Built in 1892 directly across from the river. Originally it was the Detroit Dry Dock company...they built and repaired freighters and passenger steamers. Now, if you visit the new tricentenial park, there is a bronze statue that commemorates this building and the work done here.
Its now slated to become riverfront condos... boo.
On Friday December 9, 2011 Attorney General Martha Coakley joined the Boston Globe’s “Globe Santa” crew in Faneuil Hall. The Globe Santa Fund is the Boston Globe’s annual holiday charitable fundraiser. Globe Santa raises over $1 million in donations each year and uses the money raised to purchase gifts for underprivileged children.
General Coakley paused from holiday well wishing to chat with the Bellingham High School National Honor Society.
