Weekly Image Roundup

I had big plans this week for an Arts and Crafts post (among other interests) this week and then the week just disappeared. Between a busy week at work and at home I'm not sure where the time went. Please stay tuned and check back later. I have vowed to myself that I will keep this blog up for myself and for any reading. Please add me to your RSS feeds and I'll keep it up on my end.

After all that said, unfortunately the week's image roundup is short as well.  But still good stuff!  Here's this weeks Image-Roundup.

Because of the short week I'm posting two from this recent Honour Award winner from the 2011 ASLA Awards.  The Steel Yard by firm Klopfer Martin Design Group.  I love this stepped lawn using the industrial steel remnant of the site.  This design idea reminds me of other great parks from industrial lands such as Gas Works Park in Seattle.  Check out the ASLA page here. 

I'll be going through this years ASLA winners in more detail soon to pull out the great details on the projects.

And finally, I did say it was a short week, an illustration for brewing company.  What made me pull this out is not so much the image, but the drawing technique made to look as the image is on burlap or a course paper.  It reminds me how much the medium can change how something looks.  What would an image look like on steel, or concrete, or glass.  The same idea can be created many different ways with different materials.  Something I try to keep in my mind.
 

Have a great week.
