Wear a Dress and be Safe

Don’t just take my word for it. Really here is what others have said….

According to Ms Sarah

‘Evidently there was a study done with a man who rode in a variety of attire. Once with full-on road bike garb and helmet. Then with bike clothes and no helmet. Then with a women's wig and a helmet in bike clothes. Then in women's wig, no helmet, and a dress. Apparently the last combination, with dress et all, traffic gave him the widest berth!’

According to Chain, chain, chain

‘This is totally unscientific, but I'm convinced it's true. When the weather is warm and I am dressed, I swear, drivers are nicer to me. Maybe a girl in a skirt on a bike makes them nostalgic for the '50s so they're in a better mood.’

Too Cool

Check out the bicycle spoke 'art work'...amazing colors and eye-popping. I usually just photo women, but how could I let this one get away!

Eco Citizen Window Display

Back in October 2007, i was asked to do a window display for this Boutique called Eco Citizen, in San Fransico. This was an amazingly perfect opportunity because i was working on building large layered Art Piece. The theme was "People and Places of the world" and Joslin, the ower of Eco Citizen, gave me a few images of Chagall's "Flying Lovers" as inspiration. Also since the store is Eco-Friendly store i built the whole display out of recycled cardboard. This being my first project that was double sided it took me a little while to figure it out. I hand cut over 120 layers of cardboard to shape the hills. My concept for it was from the out side of the store, the viewer, is on the other side of the world, and as you come into the store you are in the heart of San Fransico. The Monuments start at the Great wall of China, then to Saint Basil's Cathedral, over the hill is Eiffel tower, and lastly on the other side of the display is The Golden Gate Bridge. The final display sizes is H: 6ft W: 9ft and 3ft deep. enjoy.
this is my concept sketch for the display.




Below are some Close up of the monuments in the display.




Below are pictures from in side the store.
