Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.
To me, NOTHING is 'new'.
I am interested in Icons, not just religious works but also contemporary icons. I also like the way the Pop movement of the 60s took subjects from consumer products and people - soup cans, comic books, film stars - and elevated them through art, just like in traditional iconography.
In my moments of down time I tend to listen to Blues.
Young people are still experiencing the thrill of three chords and over-amplified guitars. They always will.
My encyclopedic knowledge of rock and roll is a millstone around my neck.
The first time I had work in a public space it felt very strange to see people that I didn't know looking and, and presumably commenting on, my work. Nowadays, I'm a bit more fatalistic - they either like the work or they don't and there's not a lot I can do about that. The trick seems to be not to get too pissed on open nights so that I can answer any questions without making a fool of myself. Doesn't always work!
When the enemy comes with shame and blame, tell him to go measure the distance from east to west and get back to you.
I live part-time in a cabin in Colorado up in the mountains and part-time on a ranch in central Texas - but do I really know how to go brand a cow, or do I really know how to go rappelling down a cliff? No. I do the recreational, half-assed version of all these manly activities and then try to keep that kind of Zen masculinity, like, "I'm a man of nature. "
I fantasize about everything; being a fireman, an Indian chief, climbing mountains. Anything is possible.
How loved, how honored once, avails thee not, To whom related, or by whom begot A heap of dust alone remains of thee 'Tis all thou art, and all the proud shall be!
