Tacky tourism in Colorado

"I See What You Mean," by Lawrence Argent

Another big blue animal? We don't get it either. But at least the big blue bear outside the Colorado Convention Center isn't spooky like the horse at DIA. In fact, this big guy looks pretty friendly. Although it may look like it is made from wood, don't be fooled. Artist Lawrence Argent used a steel frame, and then encased it in fiberglass and cement. Next time you're at the Convention Center, be sure to say hi to the bear peering in at you.
