Donnybrook in Dublin this fine sunny afternoon, people going about their business, a passing Dublin Bus to Bray, its a typical normal day, unlike those suffering in Ukraine at the hands of the Russians.
Thoughts & hopes sent to everyone in Ukraine at this very difficult time as your country is being invaded by Russia.
Shame on you Russia - shame, evil & murder of the innocent.

I'll be honest. I still want to say Anti-Recast. Because I've seen people who own recasts claim to be pro artist. They don't get it, they still don't see it as a negative thing. They don't see that they can't be pro artist while literally stealing from the people who create these beautiful works of art.
So I'm Anti-Recast and Pro-Artist.

___________________________________
During a brief stint in Washington D.C. in 2023, I spent the better part of a summer evening exploring the grounds of Capitol Hill. Few landscapes invite as much inquiry along winding paths paired with plenty of moments for quiet introspection on marble benches; all in picturesque view of the Capitol dome. These on-site experiences are exactly the form of anecdotal justification I seek when considering whether to recreate such monumental places in the first place.
In tackling any work of such storied precedence as the US Capitol, I always seek to expand the conversation beyond existing works in the medium of plastic bricks. While the consistent 1:650 scale among my works has always ensured some level of originality, it is no guarantee of further insight that cannot already be gleaned from existing works by other artists. With this in mind, I set out to capture the full 100-acre site currently maintained by The Architect of the Capitol. What's more, the diorama depicts a particular time of year - specifically late March to early April - as illustrated by the iconic presence of hundreds of cherry blossoms rendered in two shades of light pink.
The diorama starts downhill at the trapezoidal Capitol Reflecting Pool, with the Grant Memorial taking pride of place along its eastern edge and the US Botanic Garden across the street to the south. The diorama expands from there, capturing the radiating pathways meandering uphill, as designed by Frederick Law Olmsted within the parcels laid out in the city plan by Pierre Charles L'Enfant. The piece culminates with the widely imitated US Capitol Building, perched atop a plinth projecting from the Capitol Visitor Center on the opposite side.
Topping everything off is a custom-made representation of the Statue of Freedom (as designed by Thomas Crawford), steadfastly overlooking the National Mall from atop the dome. The statue was designed in collaboration with BigKidBrix and was sized comparably to the minifigure statuette / trophy element.
The piece was designed over the course of about two months: first in December 2023 through January 2024, paused during the build-out of SPQR - Phase II, then resumed between March and April. The build-out lasted from July through August and was completed by September. The piece will soon be added to my personal gallery of works, now available for touring exhibitions.

Tough times never last
Only tough people do
As the war in Ukraine drags on, its nice to see little gestures of support around Dublin. Just a typical street utility cabinet, nicely covered with a message of support with the Ukrainian colours.
Sláva Ukrayíni!
Thoughts & solidarity sent to everyone in Ukraine at this very difficult time as your country is being invaded.
Shame on you Russia - shame, evil & murder of the innocent.

Handmade by me.
Custom kimono commission finished!
More than just the cranes, this kimono silk has gorgeous gradation between soft scarlet and lavender. Lovely details all around.
Tried a patterend obiage made of rinzu this time. Thoughts?
What could be a more monumental way of commemorating the 2,777th anniversary of the Founding of Rome than by debuting Phase II of my SPQR diorama?
With Phase II now successfully added, the diorama grows to roughly 211,000 individual plastic bricks and represents several thousand hours of research, design and build time executed over two-and-a-half years!
A smile would belie the resolute burden of committing to recreating the entire Eternal City over many years, but I'm grateful to be tempered by a constant knowing that so many are paying close attention to this impossible overview; which 1 million fourth century inhabitants never knew themselves, and one which I can only hope to faithfully represent at this scale and in these media for millions to learn from today.
That which is done well enough, is done quickly enough. Festina lente.
