Walls

Rock walls are all over the place in my neck of the woods. If you ride with me you’ll be riding over them, next to them and sometimes even traversing them. It’s the Granite State after all. Sleeves are still rolled up chipping away at the shop and juggling day job design muscle. Slow and steady wins the race. Or at least that’s what I keep reminding myself.

Every once in a while I stumble on a real gem.  Today I stumbled.  Just south of BCS HQ in the good town of Somerville Ma is sculpture Anne Lilly’s workshop.  Apparently there was a recent open house – I missed this unfortunately but through the miracle of Flickr, I found her work.  Check it out for yourself-I love machines, machinery and her attention to detail, craftsmanship and skill really hit a chord with my design sensibilities.  So simple, so elegant and man if they just don’t beat to their own tune.

Up above is a favorite (it’s tough-they all are my favorite).  Check out that play with negative space.  The form ever changing but has a consistent visual motion.  My hunch: RADNESS ABOUNDS.

Like the sign says, time to clean up the one horse town. Lots to be done. But it’s always good to start with a clean slate. So Saturday I spent the better half of the day cleaning things out in the shop and assessing first steps. Next up: Remove all the old wiring. Fun times ahead.

Nice interview on Road Bike Review with BCS Client Eric Estlund of Winter Bicycles.  Eric came to me to design his Wordmark, Logo, Headbadge and Decal Set.  Give a listen!
