The process of making what is now my banner. It's a panoramic poster of #Chicago made of #vectors (see alt text 4 deets). #WIP Here you can see me at adjusting trees 1 by 1, then adjusting the shadows and other things. Takes FOREVER! 😮‍💨 Soon I'll offer them for sale for those who like it!

We lost a few trees and lots of branches last night in Chicago ⛈️🌳 the wind was ... 😬🌬️. I'm going to post a couple websites I use that are gorgeous AND give us some weather info, just under this post ↴ because it's not over, folks!

A panorama of park trees in the shade. These trees are very old and very tall, some have branches that were broken off by the wind of a storm the previous night. on the left in the distance is a tree that has been knocked down onto the grass, roots exposed. 😢The fallen tree in the sun on the grass of the park's field. The other trees managed to survive and are looking over their fallen kin. 🥺 It's a warm sunny day, and the fence of the baseball field has been damaged by the tree.Another angle of trees damaged at a park in Chicago. The branches of these enormous tree have broken, and some have been piled up on the right hand side of the image... most likely done by Park workers.Chicago Park District workers chainsawing, piling up, and transporting felled branches after a strong storm last night. The large pile of debris on the left was taller than all of us. in the center, some workers are working and the truck to their right is getting filled.

I'm not fond of any president, but what I AM fond of is art architecture and design & the people who create it. I had more luck when I returned for all-access once more. Here are some interiors and videos. I'll start with the muralists because one of my faves SamKirk is here. I hope you enjoy
