It’s been a while, and I’m slipping this one in just before the deadline, but here is my contribution to Illustration Friday for April 18th: Primitive.

Air Bear Video
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008This little bear (kind of looks like a dog to me) has appeared on the streets of New York. Until now I’d only seen photos, and I loved the idea, but now, seeing it on video, I love it even more. The ferocity of the beast is enhanced by its tremulous stance when the air pressure is too strong.
The grates on the street are air vents for the subway tunnels. Whenever a train goes by, the pressure wave of air in front of the train shoots up through the grates and inflates the sculpture. It’s a brilliant and creative use of otherwise lost energy. I wish I had thought of it! (of course, the Twin Cities don’t have subways, so…)
Wordpress 2.5
Sunday, April 6th, 2008I ran into some “issues” when I was updating my Wordpress installation, but I think I cleaned up my mess. Post in the comments or send me an email of you notice anything awry. Fanks.
