There’s one of those and another based on the scoreboard at Fenway park in an office building in Boston.

This is so cool! Such a neat and fun idea. Bonus if you can climb into it and look out the windows.

That must be one of those new apricot balls in Pokemon. I see people comparing to the pokemon themselves but not to balls you catch them with. This is super cool! I wish I had something like this to decorate my garden, lol

In norwegian our name for the VW beetle is 'boble', which means bubble. So this image made perfect sense to my norwegian speaking brain

I live in Burlington, VT near where Fisk lives. There are a few of these spheres around. My favorite is a steam engine that you can go inside of through a little door, and there are levers and cranks inside. My son used to play inside it when he was a toddler. It was a permanent installation at the railway station, before they revamped the station for a new Amtrak line.

It's a bit too small for a person to fit in. But the door handle works and the door hinges out. The interior is built out accurately with a mini seat and a whole dash etc.

I've had the chance to work with Lars twice on some stuff and he's a great guy, really goes the extra mile to build verisimilitude into his pieces.

I understand the want to use nice words, I love using them, but when in the company of people who appreciate it.

But language is use to communicate, if you use words unknown by most you may as well be speaking another language. Imo

I feel like this artwork is not valid unless I can climb inside and roll it around like a hamster ball

Been there! But not because of Phish. I appreciate Phish, and have been to a couple of their festivals in the late ‘90s, but I’m not really a fan. I’ve met them all—I see a couple of them on a regular basis—but jam isn’t my jam.

Edit: Appropriate username, by the way.

Somewhere, off in the distance, the cross-collab team at VW and Rocket League felt a distinct disturbance in the force.

(This is awesome btw)
