I adapted one of my recent abstract artworks into a door graphic for the 3M Design Center. It uses diecut 3M Fasara Mirror1 film that is reflective on both sides. Then a layer of color gradient 3M Fasara on each side of the glass doors. It turned out pretty cool!

I went on a vacation with my parents to the Florida Keys for 10 days. It was nice to get out of Minnesota for a bit. We drove their big RV from Sarasota to the Florida Keys and stayed at a couple different resorts by the ocean. Good times!

The snow has finally melted! Today was the first ride of the 2019 season. Beautiful weather to get out on the Yeti. I went riding with Matt Desmond along my usual route along the Mississippi River.

Nice day at the Minnesota State Fair. Fair food checklist: I ate a corndog, popcorn, french fries, corn on the cob, ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, Coke, Mountain Dew, cotton candy, and I think that’s it. I missed the mini donuts. Next year!
