... 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.

JITTER BEASTS:

... Whelp, if you do not follow this blog (...or if you do not know Your Boy personally) you probably might not know that I have been pretty darn sick for the last week and a half - Actually - My Wife and Son have been in the same boat so it is very safe to say that our whole household has been under the weather for a spell.

Yes, I missed and ENTIRE week of work last week - I really cannot remember the last time THAT happened...I am pretty sure it has been a while.

Fortunately we are all on the mend now and I have been back in the office since Monday - BUT - In an attempt to not only try and quickly re-implement myself into the work environment but also get caught up as soon as it is humanly possible I have been drinking a lot of coffee.

Ahem...Yeah, I mean a LOT of coffee.

... So, this fact made me think of a really funny *.gif that I found on 'The Oatmeal's' Website ( http://theoatmeal.com/ ) - And, well I suppose without further delay here it is:


I hope you like the *.gif...It is pretty hilarious IMHO...

SOME MORE BEARS MINIMALIST STUFF:

... Hey, here is some more cool Minimalist Sports Themed Artwork - "Football as Football" has re-branded all the NFL Teams as European Soccer Clubs; they have divided them into Italian, Spanish and English Premiere League versions - AND - They have German designs coming soon too! - The page is pretty cool and totally interactive...You can select the badge of your region of choice, modify the background and share to either Facebook or Twitter...Or simply download the image to your desktop or handheld.

Pretty hip huh?

Here is the link to their main page: http://www.footballasfootball.com/

... And what kind of Bears Fan would I be if I did not provide the direct link to the Chicago designs and copy-past the images for you enjoyment? - Here is a link to the Chicago page followed by the Bears Italian Badge, Spanish Badge and English Badge (...all shown without a background) - Enjoy:

ITALIAN BADGE:


SPANISH BADGE:



ENGLISH BADGE:


... Sorry, I know I am total dork - Sad but true; sad but true - AND - As I have already explained in previous posts apparently 2014 is the Year of Minimalist Sports Themed Artwork...So, yeah - There that is.

PEACE,

MORE BEARS MINIMALIST SWAG:

... Leading up to the Super Bowl two weeks ago Wilson released a series of minimalist artwork images based on memorable moments in past Super Bowls...Yes, I know I have already posted some similar sports related minimalist stuff recently - But I have a few more of these so you are just going to have to suck it up for a few posts.

Anyway, here is my favorite (...for obvious reasons) - It depicts William "The Refrigerator" Perry's goal line touchdown in Super Bowl XX - I suppose that was a pretty memorable moment; well for Bears fans anyway:


Oh, Fridge...You complete me...Well, if Sweetness would have scored a Touchdown in Super Bowl XX too you would probably complete me more but beggars really cannot be choosers can they?

Here are the rest of #TheDukeDozen - Enjoy:

I told you that 2014 was the Year of Minimalist Sports Themed Artwork...
