The High Line Take 2
Yep, I'm still in love with The High Line in NYC.
If you have a spare 20 minutes like I did, watch this. The urban planner side of my brain is fascinated...and still angry about the Traffic Bridge.

Design, planning, tax savings, etc. All my favorite things.
I might have to make a pilgrimage to NYC to walk The High Line. I'd have to do a little urban planner happy dance...

possible project?
Wouldn't that be fun to stop people on campus & see what they're listening to? I thought this was so cool...and hilarious the way that the songs did/didn't match their style.

Making Balloon Dogs
If it's art it's art. If it's nart it's nart. Artist Jeff Koons is calling on his lawyers because he is miffed that a San Francisco store is selling bookends that look like a balloon dog.
Jeff Koons is an artist that uses pop culture widely in his work. Would his balloon dog sculpture have been as successful were it not so instantly recognizable? This case draws into focus the difference between being an artist and being a designer. The lines have certainly become blurred.
I am guessing his frustration stems from the fact that his most memorable work was turned into a product without his consent. Koons did popularize the balloon dog as an icon but can he own all likenesses of them? Would professional clowns be in legal trouble for producing them? Would I? Didn't Koons borrow the idea of balloon dogs himself? It is also interesting and ironic to note that he has been sued multiple times for the copyright infringement of images. One could say his entire career has been based on the co-opting of people's/society's work and objects and images.
So, is this a case of egomania? Or an artist rightfully defending a piece of work? Simply a miscommunication regarding the interpretation of a public object? I'm not sure but I hope Damien Hirst doesn't come a-knockin' about my iHirst.

Object of Desire: SeaVees Plimsoll
Want to pay homage to the world-renowned authority on colour that is Pantone, without carrying your colour chips around? Give a little wink-wink nudge-nudge to those in the know? Well now you can with the SeaVees Plimsoll in Pantone colours!
The classic design is complemented by a distinct sole. These bad boys may not be so appropriate with the weather Saskatchewan is having right now, but whip these out in the summer and everything's sunny. They are about $130 and available online. The best way to pay for them? With your Pantone edition Visa of course!
