Mario makes his mark on campus [update 1]

The design was made via gridding the image in advance, with one person overseeing the grid and coordinating where to scoop out the snow. Mad respect for buzz and his friends.
[Thanks, generica]

[Update 1: we made the incorrect implication that string was involved in anything other than gridding. Corrected description and headline.]

The B9 board on Joystiq?
Wacky.

Boing Boing posted this earlier today ... it's actually just footprints in the snow, not string. Notice how they're walking heel-toe in the photos.

My friend who goes to NJIT showed me a pic. I used to attend but not anymore. I was thinking of submitting it to joystiq but then thought, "Nah, they wouldn't care."
here's a picture of how it looked in the morning

Oh wow. Was this done after the snow storm on the 20th or the one last night? In either case, I missed it :(

I'm reminded of that "Graffiti" art people make by cleaning the dust off of portions of a dirty sidewalk... Not bad.

I go to nJIt and unfourtunatley right now it is practically destroyed by people crossing the lawn without knowing the artwork that they are stepping on. awesome job nonetheless
