I'm the Creator & Mayor of Blendini City, an optimistic future city where buildings are citizens with the people. I live in Philly, write about cities, and I'm always drawing the neighborhoods of Blendini City! BlendiniCity.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/masonfromblendini.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/masonfromblendini.bsky.social/post/3ld2pey5mn22xIt's finally happening! After over 2 years, I'm doing another Blendini Land Grab! I am selling 8 plots in the city and you will all share a drawing. $85 per plot. Write a comment or DM me to reserve. First-come-first-serve so don't delay! It may be the cheapest real estate you can get 🙂11 Dec 2024 21:32 +0000at://did:plc:jjdji2cid3ng2sof52lxzijc/app.bsky.feed.post/3ld2pey5mn22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/masonfromblendini.bsky.social/post/3lch5jltzlc2qThe "Blendini Land Grabs" that I've done in the past have been a blast. Since each person purchased land in the drawings, I've gotten to know many people through these efforts. I'm a big believer that it's the people that shape the city, and so it's been cool to bring real people into the world.04 Dec 2024 02:52 +0000at://did:plc:jjdji2cid3ng2sof52lxzijc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lch5jltzlc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/masonfromblendini.bsky.social/post/3lbzf775css2dFlashback to when we are able to build and display a 3D scene of Blendini City at Dirty Frank's. Took about 3 weeks to build! Thankful for the opportunity, thankful for great communal dive bars, and thankful for everyone that has supported my fantasy city of the future so far!28 Nov 2024 15:32 +0000at://did:plc:jjdji2cid3ng2sof52lxzijc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbzf775css2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/masonfromblendini.bsky.social/post/3lbvoif4ae225A beautiful turret and house in Columbia Heights. I love turrets like this & they're a big inspiration for my Hat District neighborhood in Blendini City as they look like they are wearing hats! :) Columbia Heights is definitely one of my favorite DC neighborhoods. What's your favorite neighborhood?27 Nov 2024 04:08 +0000at://did:plc:jjdji2cid3ng2sof52lxzijc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbvoif4ae225https://bsky.app/profile/masonfromblendini.bsky.social/post/3lbu7ffou3c25Subway without a doubt. The one-seat ride to Center City is a critical part to make the project as worthwhile as possible.

It's been a long time since I've acted in anything! Being an actor was a big part of my life in high school & college, where I built up a lot of charisma, a skill that has guided me as the Mayor of Blendini City!26 Nov 2024 03:45 +0000at://did:plc:jjdji2cid3ng2sof52lxzijc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbt4qm52sc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/masonfromblendini.bsky.social/post/3lbf7o2f5is2dThis is one of the few isometric drawings I've done of the city. You can see tons of variety in both neighborhoods. Variety is the spice of life in Blendini City! There’s a variety of uses that coexist in the same area. Part of this is because of smart traffic planning & the balanced housing types.20 Nov 2024 15:00 +0000at://did:plc:jjdji2cid3ng2sof52lxzijc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbf7o2f5is2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/masonfromblendini.bsky.social/post/3lbdl7nnel22w(1/2) An ode to Portland OR's pinball scene: Pinball is everywhere in this city. It's a true pinball place where machines are just a common occurrence. I wish Philly had a true scene like Portland does (I feel the same way about movie theaters).19 Nov 2024 23:21 +0000at://did:plc:jjdji2cid3ng2sof52lxzijc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbdl7nnel22whttps://bsky.app/profile/masonfromblendini.bsky.social/post/3lbdamgpghs27This Blendini City scene takes place on the Duffy Parkway. The Parkway itself has 1 local lane in each direction for cars/express buses & bikes, and then there are two more in the middle of the tree median for multimodal express travel. The Parkway is laid out so it works for a lot of people!19 Nov 2024 20:11 +0000at://did:plc:jjdji2cid3ng2sof52lxzijc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbdamgpghs27https://bsky.app/profile/masonfromblendini.bsky.social/post/3lbd5ndveq32fWe did it! Our Blendini City project on The Pink Church is now complete! The eyes have been painted, and the side windows are completed. Now this little guy has truly come alive as a real-life Blendini building. Feels great to do art in the public realm, especially on buildings that are being saved!19 Nov 2024 19:18 +0000at://did:plc:jjdji2cid3ng2sof52lxzijc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbd5ndveq32f
