The Two-Pronged Approach

I'll be charging forward with this, even though I don't feel very grounded in this two-pronged approach.

Skulls

Little yellow skulls lined up in rows.

What they are waiting for nobody knows.

The little yellow skulls, they all fell down.

Did they give you a smile, or just a mean frown?

Happy Buddha

Buddha is happy.

Buddha is laughing.

Buddha thinks that you should too.

Super Cars

Three super cars out at the valet stand where the exotics get parked. A Ferrari, Maserati, and a Smart Car. At least the Smart is a Brabus edition...

Ikea's Lights

Ikea always has interesting displays for their light bulbs. This time around it's four rows hung with incremental lengths as it gets closer to the wall. Personally, I think it could be a very cool effect for a bar somewhere. The wall of packaged bulbs behind it almost turns into a piece of art due to it's size and repetition.

Barrel Chairs

Straight out of the 1950's: a matching set of whiskey barrel chairs with harlequin patterned upholstery. There's only minor damage to the original upholstery; nothing a quick stitch couldn't fix. If only I had a man-cave in a basement...

Shadow Chair

A nice play of light and shadow of a chair and table at a Target-based Starbucks.

Don't Do Ugly

When dealing with design, there is one rule that is always important to remember: DON'T DO UGLY!

Even the Albertson's bakery department has a reminder.

Picture Me Rollin'

Knitted Hubcaps

Now you can have the flyest ride in the retirement community with these knitted lace hubcap covers. 

Tea Set Detail

Here is a detail of the bird motif on a 1930's porcelain breakfast tea set. There is only one bird per side, allowing it to be the focus of the motif, and stylized branches add to the deco feel of the piece. Simple red (now more orange over time) and green accents help to make the design stand out, but do not detract from it.
