Hello, I'm Becklo!

I'm a photographer and graphic designer in Detroit, Michigan. I like to take pictures and make stickers.

I do not like advertising myself. But alas, new year, new me. Or something.

Here's some stuff I've done that you can find at becklo.com :

#Art #ArtistsOfBluesky
A stone garden figure with a baby doll head on its neck, sitting in front of a tree with wrought iron decor leaning against it. A line of five circular stickers spread out across a plank of wood. Each sticker has a drawing of Isabelle, a yellow anthropomorphic dog from Animal Crossing, smiling. Text around the circle says "I hope you enjoy the loveliest of lovely days!" A shed at Eastern Market in Detroit that has a large turkey painted on it. A stack of stickers. Each sticker is a cloud with a rainbow behind it. Text inside the cloud says, "disappoint your parents."

BREAKING:

I just discovered I have photos I took in 2005 of both Ferndale, Michigan Taco Bells from before they were renovated.

#Vintage #Nostalgia #Millennial #Ferndale #Architecture #StreetPhotography #TacoBell #LiveMas #ThinkOutsideTheBun
The corner of Nine Mile and Pinecrest in Ferndale, Michigan. A 7-Eleven sign and parking lot are in the foreground. Behind that is the Taco Bell with its old 80s design. Photo taken June 29, 2005. A photo of northbound Woodward Avenue at Marshall in Ferndale, Michigan. A red pickup truck and a vintage yellow car are driving past with the old style Taco Bell in the center of the frame. Photo taken August 20, 2005.

I drew this on my tablet and it's one of the prettiest things I've ever made.

A light blue bird with menacing eyes, feather stubble and tiny hairs sticking out of the top of its head opens its beak to reveal a concerning amount of sharp teeth. A speech bubble coming out of its mouth says, "Bird."

Update: the party store repainted the exterior a few weeks ago and intentionally kept SpongeBob intact. No touchups, just carefully painted around him so he can still advertise on the side of the building.

A freshly painted wall that left an old painting of SpongeBob SquarePants extending his left arm intact so he's still happily showing off the words "Holiday Beer & Wine" and "ice"

This came up in my memories today: Cameron, my beautiful little girl. She loved her supervised outdoor time and knew the sidewalk was her boundary, so she'd push said boundary as far as she could.

A tortoiseshell cat lays on the sidewalk with her back facing the camera. She is looking up at a tree with green leaves. A row of suburban houses and trees with various shades of green, yellow, and red line the street.

A black and white photograph between two sections of a concrete highway bridge, one section for each direction of traffic. The view is from under the bridge at night. There are sharp shadowed angles from how the light hits the T-shaped concrete pillars. Ripples in the water below show water movement. There are two thin shadows being cast on the water's surface from the two sides of the bridge.

I've been traveling a lot over the last month, and that's why I've been inactive recently. Just you wait and see what I've accomplished in that time!

A string of yellow tinted, conical lights are hung over a fire pit at sunset. The sky is a beautiful gradient of red, orange, yellow, and violet. Silhouettes of plants are sticking up from the ground behind the fire pit.

I like unions.
A Michigan license plate on a gray Buick Verano that says "UNIONS" in yellow text on dark blue. Above that is the word Michigan and below it is the phrase "Water-Winter Wonderland." #Unions #LicensePlate #Michigan #PureMichigan #Car #Photography

The hallway of the old Cinemark 16 dollar movie theater, the only remaining part of Universal Mall. Other than a fresh coat of paint and carpet, this looks how I remember it in the 90s.

Warren, Michigan

A slightly ominous, liminal space looking hallway with movie posters on the walls. There's a neon green glow from lights at the end of the hallway.

Holy shit. This is an unfathomable situation for an artist I greatly admire and have done so since the Twitter days. Please check out this GoFundMe, please order a frog at www.figmentpudding.com, and/or please share this to get it in front of as many eyes as possible.

When I suddenly found myself looking for a house, we went on a tour with our realtor, Jo Cook. My MIL mentioned a house she saw on Zillow for $30k so Jo Cook took us to see it.

I'm so glad this is getting restored because it needed a LOT of work.

My grandpa would've turned 96 last week and it made me think about one of my favorite photos of him: laying down in his front yard with a camera to take a picture of a cat on a leash.

If you wonder why I am the way I am, here's example number one.
A man wearing a khaki shirt, brown pants, white socks, and dark shoes is laying down on his stomach on a grass lawn. He's holding a camera and looking at a Siamese cat on a leash in front of him.

An open metal gate with an intricate design at the top of two birds on either side of a large chalice filled with fruit. It opens to a small courtyard with a red door of a brick house. There is a black screen door in front of the red door. Leaves of ivy grow across the top of the entrance.
