Painting from 2006. Not sure why I did this one. Boredom. Class assignment.

Good Song



Great Song, That Is Performed By Such A Strong Talent.

Cigarette Break


I forget that I am dyslexic. That fact escapes me, but I think that it is obvious. My mind wanders. Time is but time, and time and thyme.

Serenissima


This is old news, but I just have learned of it.

The Swimming Cities of Serenissima

The project is quite amazing, quite stunning. Inspirational. I would love to find a book or read more about floating cities.

Table To Lunch




Design Project, Lunch Table.

A Little Bit In The Shit Hole. A Little Bit. There are several things wrong with this design for my lunch table. Perhaps to conceive a lunch table is the first mistake. The second mistake is more obvious. The table speaks of two elements, the act to create space with unfolding parts; the other element is space which already exists and serves to transport contents. With some space existing, it limits the object to create more space. There is not enough room, nor strength of the person, to handle the sheer bulk and dimension of this object.

Bad design. Period.

The table is awkward, but so is a picnic basket.
I work along this idea, of bad design that people deal with, despite it being bad design. Stupid demarche, but it is a step to leap towards a solution.

Student Life

Worst presentation even in my architecture class. The slip of the tongue.

Worst presentation ever in my architecture class. The correct idea.

So bad, it was my fault. The professor did not like my proposal. Low point . . .

FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Interior Architecture, it speaks more about confidence. Politics, the skill of the word, he says.

I work to solve this problem. I apply myself to ideas that sink. My frustration occurs when I jump from log to log, slipping, repetitive, miscalculate, blind. These are traits that beg for failure, though they grant to define all students, all designers, all people.

Niolon Project


It is one matter to create a conceptual model for a project. It becomes another thing to use that model as the base for the project. Can I succeed at this project, or have I take a bigger step than my legs can leap?

Dive Into The Past


Dive into the past. I found this photograph at the fleamarket in 2006. It's pretty amazing, since my friend Nancy has a similat hair style.
