Past, Present, Future






GOING TO A LOCAL FLEA MARKET OR ONE OF THOSE DISUSED CINEMAS OR AN OLD WAREHOUSE NOW FULL TO THE BRIM WITH OLD STUFF IS A 
GREAT, CARBON FRIENDLY, FUN IDEA. 
FASHION, WHETHER IT IS THE OBVIOUS CLOTHES WE WEAR, OR THE INTERIOR DESIGN THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME A CONTEMORARY CONSUMER OBSESSION, SHOULD BE YOUR OWN,
 NOT THE VISION OR STYLE OF SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT LIVE YOUR LIFE OR KNOW YOUR QUIRKS AND FANTASIES.

Objects of Delight












Like the saying goes..."I don't know much about art, but I know what I like" 
or one of my favorites, which was expressed to me by a bright young man, 
when we were looking at some of the great master pieces of the 20th century...
"No wonder these are so expensive, looked at those frames!" 

 I love people's responses to art and to imagery that people think is art. 
 If you like it and it brings your pleasure, if it lets your imagination wander to somewhere else, 
then more power to it.

Just a slip of a thing




















Great ideas are all around us. Simple in essence. Truly effective design lives in inventive and lateral thinking.
