Jersey Barriers

It's a funny thing that a competition for jersey barriers is conducted in New York. But that's what the NYC Department of Transportation offered and I went for it. A jersey barrier is a concrete divider that is 15 feet long and 30 inches high. They are used to reroute traffic when road construction is being done.

So New York wants to beautify their jersey barriers. If one wins the competition, you will paint it with the help of volunteers. Seemed like a fun way to get good visibility and make some cash. Unfortunately, my entries did not win the competition but I had a good time creating them. The top one is called "New York Footsteps" and the lower is "New York Blocks." They are both painted to scale.

I still think they should have picked mine and that my shoes would have been especially charming on a jersey barrier. What do you think?
