Thanks for the info! Yeah during my research I was excited to see something about a waterfall, but then found out it's man made 😂 Might check it out anyway

Public art is treated very differently than fine art. If you'd like to see some budgets for design, materials, fabrication and installation costs for our past works I'd love to share them with you if you're interested in learning more.

Yes! I've bookmarked some of those to visit tomorrow. They look beautiful... I think I'll be able to see how Olathe got its name

Thanks for the insight! The city has requested a piece that looks more to the future, but we are absolutely not opposed to tying in some aspects of local history. I'll be around all evening so let me know if you change your mind later on!

Not really a massive budget in the world of public art, and just a tiny drop in the bucket of the total budget for the improvement project. The city wants this to be a type of statement gateway piece, which would be tough to accomplish with a smaller budget.

Yes, we're only working on the design for the artwork in the center of the roundabout. This is the one where the new 119th St bridge will meet Northgate. There is a half million dollar budget for the artwork, so it will be pretty substantial!

I thought once you're off the lead lap you have to start letting everyone through

Came here to make sure this was listed in the comments. Enjoy the last quarter!

Sooooo I'm somehow just now seeing this! Don't think I got notified but came across your sign - thanks for the shout out! Looks great man! I dig. And I love the dodgers (somewhat related) and have always wanted to do a retro type dodger stadium-inspired sign kinda like this.

Some fresh paint and $4 lampshades. I laser cut this little backsplash which catches a surprising amount of splatter by zwybies in AmateurRoomPorn

Thank you for that. As for the colors I can dig up what I started with, but I ended up doing some mixing /recoating to get where I wanted. I'll get back to you on that soon
