Argh...

That's it... I've had it! I've designed way too many PowerPoint presentations and spec designs for websites. My new focus is going to be "Surface Design". I'm going to start to faze out of the Digital Design world and get back to my tactile and illustrative roots. Not sure if I need to enroll in a couple of Textile classes to get up to speed? But, I've decided that all of the fun is in houseware, home goods, and fashion.

Andrée Putman Designs Bathtubs

I just love how Andrée Putman has updated the traditional footed porcelain bathtub. She can do no wrong in my book.

Enamel Art

Yesterday during lunch I took the time to check out the new exhibit at the Long Beach Museum of Art. The show is called Painting With Fire. It's a small and beautiful show exhibiting enamel art from this country over the past fifty years. There were handful of vibrant Mid-Century pieces that I was drooling over. I wanted to photograph them all, except they would not let me. Painting with Fire: Masters of Enameling in America

P.S. Kudo's to my friend Richele for teaching me how to code my links to make them live!

Guess who?
