• The Been Everywhere Project

  

  I was invited by a one Mr. Adrian Walsh to participate in his collaborative design project “The Everywhere Project” aptly titled after the folk song of a similar title of which I’m none too familiar. I chose Black Rock City, site of the famous Burning Man festival which I am similarly none too familiar with. What I do know now, I’m partly intrigued by and partly wish I hadn’t seen.

  Like most design projects, a lot is cut, unused, or cropped to usable standards. This peculiar wooden thing met a likely fate at the hands of a clipping mask. But here it is, in its full buildout.

  

  And then some creations, like this 12-story tall rickety scaffolding built for the festival and loaded with the patrons never saw the light of day.

  

  The 2006 amphitheater seating plan, as arranged by Burning Man, was able to be worked into the luggage tag at a severely obfuscated view, but if you could see it all, this is what it was in Illustrator + the original reference.

  

  Long story short, the ending result is up top. But do yourself a favor and check the heck out of that project. Some killer work over at The Everywhere Project.
