Final Days
Mike Chrzanowski
a photographic tribute to Looking Glass Studios
This is the Bad Omen. This building was an Oriental food restaurant. Many of us had lunch here on Friday afternoons and held unofficial design meetings. Many historical conversations took place in that building. One day, a few months back, Aku-Aku closed up and went out of business. We were all quite let down, and Friday's weren't the same anymore. That yellow monstrosity was once a giant Easter Island statue. About two weeks ago the Gorton's fisherman appeared. We were all quite disturbed by it; you should see what it looks like from the side. A few of us felt that it was a sign of bad times, and unfortunately we were right.
