Sketch This!

BCMG President, Steve Brown and Marketing Director, Mary Katherine Brown kicked off the new year with a  business development trip to New York City and while walking a few block off Times Square encountered the urban art display partially depicted in this photo.  An empty city lot has been covered with a multi-slope, multi-angular roof shingle sculpture designed as a commentary on environmental conservation that only a property adjuster (or roofer) could appreciate.  We know that many of you adjusters consider yourselves to be quite the Xactimate  “Sketchmeister”, hence the title to this blog submission, “ Sketch this!”

The sculpture, entitled “Desert Rooftops”, by artist David Brooks “employs an absurd abundance of asphalt-shingled rooftops to create a vision of overdeveloped land in a dynamic composition reminiscent of a rolling, dune-like landscape”.
