Deatail from a Fire-Scorched Wall

This is another scene from the warehouse fire I came across. The heat

was so intense it scorched the wall and cracked the paint of a building

across the alley, creating its own darkly beautiful design imprint.

Amazing.  The design is very interesting.

Bravo, maestro! I would think of entering such places!

 

Cheers

darkly beautiful to be sure… But there’s cash to be made in this beauty sensei. Don't you see serious coin emerging from the fire… This is a majorly fab design imprint tailor-made to fabricate the coolest wallpaper and the most wow shower curtains ever… Gold is what I see beckoning you Jack and you must consider assume it and own it, and hurry to the nearest copyright office at once… It's time to unleash the Donald within Jack; enough already with the sensitive artist bit… I betcha Ikea will buy the idea in a Swedish moment. You wanna bet?

Jack; I like this one, too. Very abstract, while remaining identifiable, just, as unintended damage. Well done.

Good eye to capture this. Beautiful and stylish.

The pattern is interesting to me just because of its similarity to other triple junction cracking phenomena such as mudcracks, columnar jointing, ceramic glazes, and even tectonic plate boundaries.

Carlos is right, this design could be the next big thing, not only in fashion but in mundane things like floor tiling.  "Char chic" perhaps.

Thanks for the comments on this picture. I was fascinated by the pattern of cracks on this charred wall and I think Mark's reference to other natural stress patterns is right on the money. Potters often rely on the heat of their kilns to produce just such beautiful and rhythmically patterned cracks. Carlos, so like you, always looking to cash in on the big bucks. I'm sure you've got a big Trump sign planted in your front yard. However, if you can guarantee me a little loot, I'm ready to listen....(and Mark, I'm shocked to find you seconding Carlos; here I thought you were a dedicated, starving artist - "Ars gratia artis")
