... The title of this blog has to do with a Will Bruder quote I heard while attending the University of Arizona College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture (CAPLA) during the Fall of 1999 - "Learn to master the trash can and you might become something" - It really resonated with me and has stuck with me to this day. I suppose for me the concept hit hard that although you can discard an idea, concept, sketch, design, whatever for a certain project you may be able to revisit it at a later date under different circumstances - In other words designs never die, they evolve, they hibernate, they circle-back but they never die...Or maybe he was just telling us to quit our ideas of becoming Architects and to go live in a public park somewhere; which, given the current state of the industry probably would not have been such a bad idea...

That is what this Blog will be for me - With over a decade in the industry I have come to realize that what I thought I would be doing on a daily basis and what I actually do are pretty darn different - BUT - I still have ideas, I still have hopes and I still have my creativity; So, I figured this would be a good outlet...I will share my thoughts on work and the industry as well as whatever moments of creativity I can muster - And, yes, at the direction of my Wife I will keep the swearing to an absolute minimum.

Cheers...B.

LET US DO THIS AGAIN...SHALL WE:

... Okay - I am still basking in the Blackhawks Stanley Cup win from a week ago. Awesome. Just awesome. Three Cups in six years and a modern day Dynasty in the Salary Cap Era...Unreal. Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook and of course Coach Q - What a core. Oh yeah, and I see you TT. I see you.

So, in honor of the Blackhawks and within the spirit of this Blog - Here are a few minimalist four feathers logos for your viewing pleasure...Yes, I know I proclaimed that 2014 was the year of minimalist sports-related imagery but there is no harm in letting it bleed over a little bit right? - I mean, right?

This one is for you guys.
Go Blackhawks.
Rock Chealsea Dagger
Hoist the Cup.
Congratulations.



Thank you Rocky. Thank you.

That is all, after all, that is enough (...for now)
Hot Mama

P.S. Here are a just few links to some of the past minimalist sports-related imagery I have shared; oldest to newest - Nothing like cross-pollination and shameless self-promotion...You know, for the kids:

Oh yeah...And just for good measure, here is a Bulls-themed pic - Let us hope that Fred Hoiberg can take them where Thibodeau never could; #LeSigh:


Out,
