The future is now.



I walked home in tears from Casa Clark all the way back to my lady lair. My wife has officially left for the Big Smoke. I suppose the writing was on the wall...... 

I will miss everything that went along with having my best friend live but a short walk away. No less, I'm extremely proud of her accomplishments and know that she will kick some serious ass living in Toronto. At the very least, she now has something to remind her daily of where she's been and what must be kept in mind to always move forward. All we have is today, all we have is NOW. 

The future is now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now!

Wool travel pouch for Robert.

My good friend Robert is travelling to Japan for the next two weeks. When he said that he needed something to keep all his travel knick knacks together this is what I came up with. I'm pleased to say I'm happy with the result and so is he :)

The whimsical art of Matthias Jung!




Lazy Saturday! After a day of indulgence (lots of bacon, pancakes & napping...) I came across this cool artist Matthias Jung. Not only does he share the same famous name of dream specialist psychologist, Carl Jung, he makes kiss-ass, dream worthy, digital collages of whimsical homes. 

In short, I'm inspired. Check him out!

SALUT LE MONDE!

In an attempt to be more digitally minded, I have started this blog to showcase all my projects/things I make/things that inspire/etc.

Below are a series of photos of my most recent project which were cushions made for a private plane.

I had the pleasure of working with the photographer's own personal collection of photographs taken around the world. I then transformed them into screens and printed them on a delicious orange sateen lambswool. After sewing them with a stark black flanged edge, I'm proud to say they came out beautifully.

I am awaiting actual photos from the plane, but in the meanwhile, my iPhone photos (which do not do these cushions justice) will have to suffice. 


Bags made with lettering of all the airport codes.
