autumn is here

autumn is here. and it seems that the cooler weather has brought out the puppy in otto. maybe the summer heat keeps him slow moving but lately he has been up to his old puppy antics - stealing shoes, getting stuff out from the bin, trying to sleep on the bed - on the pillow next to your head, barking, and lots of energy.

now that all sounds bad, but really its kind of cute.

he does enjoy shewing a bone in the courtyard, and it is nice out there now that autumn is here.

meanwhile in the studio deb and i are busy preparing for next week, when we install 2 major projects, the covered walkway and the bike shelter.

these images are of a large graphic that we got laser cut out of some vinyl to make a spray painting stencil. we are laying it out on perforated aluminium panels that will become the fence around the bike shelter.

the panels are 1.8 m x 1.2 m and there are 6 panels on the long side and then 2 on the end. this graphic will span 4 panels starting on the short end and turning the corner onto the long side.

it took a bit of prep but we got there. this is deb spraying on the primer.

the bike graphic has been cut into sections, and these sections will also be painted. this will help make the image more dynamic, and interesting, and fit in with the verticals that hold the fence panelling up.

here is deb spraying the matt black layer.

and here is the first coat done. i think they are going to look great. 

its a busy week of install next week, i will try and stay on top of blogging as it happens (that is easier than playing catch up) but we will see how we go. lets hope the rain stays away!
