This Week @ ripe – March 23rd

We were excited to hear today via a Washington CityPaper article that the Hirshhorn “bubble” project is moving along, to be funded by and named for Bloomberg. Basically they’re putting a giant balloon in the middle of the donut-shaped museum. We approve of this, and in fact we think it’s not going far enough. For the city’s consideration we have done a few quick sketches of more Bloomberg balloons installed at various DC landmarks.

This is what happens when you let Bryan write the blog.

In other, more sensical news, we are looking forward to attending AIGA’s Schmoozeday next week. A lot of applicants for our still-available junior designer position have requested some face-time with us, but unfortunately we’re so busy that we can’t make time to meet with everyone, although we wish we could. (Hence, why we need a junior designer.) So if you really want to meet us, we’d love to see you on Wednesday the 28th at 6:30 at Scion.

    [...] we appreciate art and creativity in whatever form it takes, be it architecture, paintings or even huge balloons. So we were excited when we heard about the Smithsonian’s Art of Video Games exhibit. [...]
