June 28, 2007: Trash shadow

I certainly don't have anything negative to say about the piece in the original post here, I think it's very clever. That the artist actually carried through with the idea, past the conception phase and into the execution (with real, stinky garbage, no less!) is incredible.

As a further compliment to the artist, their work has inspired me with a few ideas of my own. How great is that? Artwork that makes you think. Even got BigV to illustrate some pretty peculiarly-shaped objects (very cool, BigV).

For the most part, I think this has beed a very positive, stimulating thread. Thanks for another great IotD, Undertoad.

Almost- the diagram created the concept in my head. That's what diagrams are for.

I said what he drew won't work, and it won't.

And if you follow blueprints incorrectly, you end up with weird, quarter-cylinder-shaped "doors" you can't walk through.

Agreed. I did find it off-putting that this discussion with Bruce almost made it seem as if I were putting the original artist down in some way.
