Don't call it a comeback...

So, I have been bad. About blogging. In reality I have been busy. very busy. But i am back and will start using this forum again! stand by for some new designs and a peek at some of the stuff I missed posting!

Earth Rangers Oasis

A proposal for a Google offices style area for idea sharing and brainstorming in the EarthRangers Centre.

Benches, foam pillow rocks, padded lawn, a cork tree for pinning notes and artwork, and a swing!

Funhouse

Created for Nuit Blanche 2012. Envisioned by Thom Sokolovski I was brought in by the City of Toronto to create drawings and accomplishable designs. The concept was a drive through funhouse!

Very ambitious in terms of sheer size and scope it went up in a 24 hour period and occupied an entire city block. On Bay street no less, just south of old City hall.

Inspired by Tobe Hooper's "Funhouse" it had three areas, a corridor of flashing multi coloured chandeliers...

...and a hall of mirrors separated by a dark space.

There is a gallery of photographs of the finished product here: http://ccca.concordia.ca/nuitblanche/nuitblanche2012/artists/59.html
