Overpass

Took a walk a couple of weeks ago and was afraid for everyone that uses I-80. Currently it is under construction being made wider (and better, you hope) but for now it is looking scary.
Just walking under this made me nervous, driving would be scary. I know that there is a lot of support put into the freeways but still this looks bad. There weren't even any birds roosting on this overpass. Usually you'll see a whole community of birds nested in the nooks and crannies.
You know it's bad when not even the birds want to be near it. Yikes.

337, part 2

More from the 337 project. Most of the doors in this building were removed to allow for people to move about and a few of them became outdoor art.

This eye was my boyfriends favorite of the whole show.
But I think this eye is more impressive or at least creepier.

Urban art

I've seen this graffiti various places around SLC. It reminds me of the circus ringleader saying "come one, come all and see the freaks. Be next to enter the world of wonder."

337, part 1

These are actually pics taken last spring at the 337 project. The 337 project was the creation of a husband and wife team who had bought a building intending to convert the space into condos. Somehow it turned out that gutting it would not work and that the building would have to be torn down. Well before tearing it down they decided to allow local artists to go crazy on the place and fill it completely with art. Then for a few weeks people could go in and check it out for FREE!!!
I took all the pictures using my camera phone and it took me ages to send them to my e-mail, then save them to the computer and then up-load them to blogger. The real reason that I finaly got around to it was that I wanted a new ringtone but with all the pictures there just was no memory left.
It really was a great day wandering around and seeing all the amazing creativity that is here. Outside they even had a band and poets. It was just amazing.

Hollywood


One door in all Utah that could have rivaled the best in Hollywood and now it is gone. Taken way with the soul of Sugarhouse. Just look at the perfect layering of fliers. Beautiful and never to be seen again.

Do you see what I see? Proof that winter will not last forever. It sometimes feels like I have never been warm in my life. YAY!! Spring will be here and I will be able to thaw my frozen bones.
