Landchark

Phil from Chicago Sign Systems came into town and installed the winning design.
He printed it out backwards on vinyl and applied it to the back of the frosted plexi.
the K2 and lounge are both black vinyl and the card suits are some kind of fancy semi transparent vinyl. I didn’t even know such a thing existed.  What an age we live in.

It looks fabulous, i’d say.
I still have to figure out some other sort of backlighting, but for now, I’m more than happy.

[ note: i'm not really the best photographer, so the orange backlight kind of glares in the photos. In person, they look like the bottom where you can see the card suits better ]

[ note 2: the walls are still orange, not pink ]

Again, thanks to Phil and his super awesome art talents.

Today I was working diligently at a task assigned to me by my supervisor. It was a true challenge, one that required me to be extremely focused. Sadly, my co-workers did not share my need for focus. They were babbling on and on about their “little buddies” and “coconuts” and “buxom movie stars”.

Finally, I could take no more.

“YOU GOTTA STOP TALKING ABOUT GILLIGAN’S ISLAND!” I blurted.

Their confused, blank stares were evidence that they had never witnessed such an urgent need for concentration before.

So, after several minutes of akward silence I exclaimed “and don’t think of drumming up a conversation about The Ropers either.”

That shut ‘em up.

So my friend Phil at Chicago Sign Systems designed me up some backgrounds for my jukebox, and I’m having a hard time choosing.

the design would fill the frosted plexiglass that the touchscreen monitor is mounted into in my home jukebox, as you can see in these photos: (no the walls are not pink, they are orange. the flash makes them look all pinkish)

so… which one would you pick?

design #5 just added by request, so if you want to cast another vote, just clear your cookies and you should be able to vote again

Was searching for some info on HGTV’s show: Man Land that we were filmed for a year ago, and came across the following video…

so an intro exists… a good sign that the show will be aired.

To give credit where credit is due, that intro was made by Craig Stouffer (a.k.a. Mr. BANDITO) from lostproject.net .
He has done some amazing work and I’m sure you’d recognize some of it if you watch his showreel 2007
