I was recently in one of Chicago's more historic neighborhoods and I happened to notice that one of the museum-homes had paving brick outside with the word "Purington" on it, so I gave it a search in an idle moment and found the strange and compelling world of brick fandom. Technically most of the sites are people who salvage and resell historic brick and paving stone, but there's a certain whiff of hyperfixation within this particular commercial niche.

Imagine paying for ninety acres of land with bricks. Imagine accepting ninety acres of land's worth of bricks. I mean it makes sense in the era, why bother with cash when bricks will do, but like. Damn.

Also:

There's something insanely compelling about the idea of rocking up to a freight car to start unloading bricks for the day and they're still faintly warm. I'm not sure if it's compelling like fresh warm bread or compelling like some kind of weird eldritch horror.

Some more Good Omens 2 props: behind the scenes!

A Companion to Owls- "Little Rock Pile and surrounding rubble for Job's wee Goat that Crowley is going to Sacrifice in Good Omens 2. I loved painting this wee pile of rocks and for such a VIP cast member too - the wee goat!"

“I remember I was asked to do stand-by for this day in case his wee hooves kicked off any paint, and then I was absolutely gutted when the schedule changed because I really wanted to meet this goat. Anyway lots of texture, classic shellac attack […]” Via: jcbscenic on instagram

The Resurrectionists- “There was a grave stone that David Tennant was to leap frog over and they wanted to make sure once it was built that it was doable so we all had a wee shot in the workshop of attempting it. Lemon squeezy David!”

Nazi Zombie Flesheaters - "Bombed out Church set / This church set had a lovely subtle stone finish which was so lovely to paint and age! I remember there was a quick turnaround to it having to then be bombed-out.“

“Cue us in over a weekend hacking it up a bit, Kirsty working her Froth-pak magic on the edges and us aging it far heavier. Then SFX come in and do their magic."

"I painted these graves and foam mattresses for the 3 Zombies when they emerge from the rubble in the church. Come on even Zombies have to be comfortable guys!”

“Brick wall I painted and aged for the back alley of the Musical Instrument Shop .Feat the shitty brushes that are the magic of brick walls, tasty bricky shades, and outfit twinsies with Jamie B.”
