A distant shot of some architectural detail on a bridge across the LA river. Various horizontal arches and perpendicular supporting walls meet at unexpected angles, creating interesting shadows and lines of sight.

Red Car Bridge

A wide-angle shot of the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge. Six arches span across the water in series, each supported by a long support wall that meets the foot bridge in the foreground (from which the picture was taken). Murky green water trickles down the avenues created by the walls.

Red Car Bridge

A close look at one of the arches that makes of the span of the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge. Some pigeons are gathered on a support wall to one side, and there's a little vegetation growing where the walls meet the water.

Red Car Bridge

A long shot of a section of the bank of the LA river. There's a dry outlet hole of some kind, the water level is very low, but there's tall grasses growing.

Los Angeles River

The Red Car foot bridge over the LA River, seen from a distance. It's a spare metal bridge with a red handrail running the whole length.

Red Car Bridge

A bottle of Metamodernity whiskey. It's tall and curvy with a minimal abstract label. The need and cap are sealed with white wax that has an irregular blue and purple marbling throughout. It's surrounded by the bag and paper it was packaged with from the store.

Look at this beautiful bottle

Lots of cardboard cutouts suspended under a carport tent. White clothesline runs along the poles at various heights, and the pieces are clipped to it for arrangement.

Using clothesline to test the scale of these pieces

A pretty simple pencil sketch—two long rectangles and a human figure that's about the same height as the rectangles. They're marked as 20 feet long. One of them shows a makeshift barge with a radio antenna, a mast and sail, and an upturned grocery cart. The other is more chaotic, with a person feeding ducks, someone else painting a sign, bundles of extension cords taped to the wall and spread all around, and someone sitting at the top of some scaffolding and pouring water out of a boot.

Final scale plans for Halloween before I start building

A long and narrow tent with a white tarp over its top. It's parked in the driveway with a car parked near, but not beneath it. The box it came in sits on the ground
