/in /by

This Friday is Black Friday. Doesn’t sound that good you might say… well, it is said the name originated from the heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic occurring on the day after Thanksgiving – coloring the streets black. Later an alternative explanation suggested that this day marked the transition to profit and thus starting to write numbers in the books with black ink instead of negative red.

Congratulations to Chog Burley for winning the second stage of the CGAxis giveaway! During the month of September I held that giveaway and the first winner was randomly selected from all who commented in the original CGAxis giveaway post. Chog submitted an image from a set made in the project “Clay Farm” they did for Tate Hindle Architects. CGAxis trees are being used and showcased very nicely in this image which awards Chog with a CGAxis Unlimited account for a full YEAR!

The attention to details is what you would expect by now from Mr. B, and yet it still amazes me time and time again.
