Marquetry Postcard

Hey Tim, thank you very much for the wooden postcard. Absolutely amazing. Thought you might find this musical bin of some interest too (Tim & I have dabbled in making musical furniture before).
Hope all is going super well and good in Japan. X

"...a most boisterous originality of mind, and this in an age of slavish imitation and apishness."

Subarquitectura

Suarquitectura's running track in Elda Spain brilliantly adds another mound like section of track as both a roof to cover the changing rooms and also to provide seating for viewers. I really like this, there is initially an element of fun, (with almost childhood scaletrix ideas,) but the more I look the more I appreciate it's subtlety. It's important to note how good this looks from the outside too. Provincial athletic tracks are normally dead flat and very boring , with everyone standing at the same level. But this has a very individual personality, and I would imagine a certain magnetism because of that. 

Busy Busy

As you all know, crazy busy at the moment so it's a drip feed blog. I have NOT given it up, so keep checking, and expect much more in a few weeks. In the mean time: a cute concrete lamp and giant watch print T-shirts.
Both sound very wrong, but look very good.

Heribert C. Ottersbach

Ottersbach really does it for me, combining many of my interests - urban landscape, monochrome, division of a rectangle, modernity and process - all at Ben Brown Fine Arts.
"If painting still wants to be taken seriously within the overall social discourse, and not be dismissed as office, insurance, or bank building-compatible service, it must establish its canon anew. Less is no longer more."  

Phew. I am broken. Working crazily trying to get this project done over the last week or so. Nearly there and will post some decent pics soon.
