Drawing: Faces #1138 - The Red [Value Village] Plane

By Jack Brummet

[Pencil, Sharpie ® Fine, Sharpie ® Extra Fine, and scribe on an old crudely painted red airplane from Value Village.  Roughly 1' x 1'.  I think the plane was probably sold as "decor" at somewhere like Cost Plus/Pier 1 as a reproduction of an old toy.  It may actually be old, but it feels like it was deliberately distressed and "aged."]

Drawing: Faces No. 1130 - enhanced Scrum course syllabus

By Jack Brummet


Doing a book and 'paper cleanout, I found this on the title page of a syllabus from a scrum master class I took a few years ago.  I took a lot of notes in the booklet, but this appears to be my satellite note page.  2013 - ballpoint, pencil, and highlighter on cheap paper.

432 Park Avenue dominates the NYC skyline now

By Jack Brummet, NYC Metro Ed

I am utterly fascinated by 432 Park Avenue.  It's kind of crazy.  The first photo, from Central Park, is by me.  The second is from Wikipedia when it was under construction. 

The building is 1,396 feet tall (96 stories) and measures just 93' x 93'.  It is now the 2nd tallest building here.  The designer Rafael Viñoly based it around "the purest geometric form: the square," inspired by a trash can.

Each face of the tower has six 100-square-foot windows, or, 24 per story.  Many of the stories contain just one condo.

The new building is taller than the Empire State Building by nearly 150 feet.  One World Trade Center is only taller because of its spire.  Wow.  More of these super thin buildings are going up soon.  It's incredible how this one stands out.
