I would pretend to be Nadia Comaneci, blissfully unaware I was riding high on a Buckminster Fuller styled geodesic dome.

I’ve been drawing various buildings for some time now; be they half timbered styled buildings in Frankfurt, teepees in Northern California, Victorian and Federal style townhouses, or various castles (real and otherwise).

A good point of reference is the book Spaced Out
(many of the following images are from this book)

Leti and I went to the launch party for such a thing last year. Coupled with the Summer of Love exhibit at the Whitney, it was a good time to pretend you resided in a hippy dwelling up in Woodstock

Dodeckahedron’s flickr provided some of these images.

James set up a photo booth and I supplied “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” themed costumes.
