Little Fascinations

Work in progress

Playing with pattern. Taking this simple line sketch: and turning it into a repetition that looks like this: Tell me any names that come to mind for the sketch or pattern - and I'll let you know if its better than what I've been using. Also, I'd love feedback on the pattern and options - or completely random sharing.

Color Cravings

The season of Spring has a bit more time before she's due. However, if you're like me, you have perhaps grown tired of the chill, the snow, and the relative barren landscape. I have retired my dark puffy coats to the back of my closet, despite more snow, I insist now on lighter layers and color. I've put a bold shade of pink on my nails and I've never really been into pink. I've worn pinks,

Rainbow House - or whimsy & inspiration

This house looks like a wonderful place to escape to for inspiration and a change of perspective. Enjoy the Goldilocks exploration below! The Rainbow House, London from Ab Rogers Design on Vimeo.

Sharing and Collecting Visuals

There won't be weekly posts of sketch-a-day any more, but no worries, I'm still drawing - and with color too. As for the new year, trying new things like Pinterest - which was suggested by a good friend. Basically, as with other such services you come across something of interest and you can "pin it" to one of your self-created boards with a note, or contribute to others. Folks "like"

Mind on the walls

2010-12-19T13:53:00.001-05:00

I have a secret to share. If you've ever been in a space I've occupied for longer than a week, be it workplace or residence, then you have seen a glimpse of my brain. It seeps out and onto my walls, floor, light...around me. It has always been the case that there is too much in my mind to keep it all in there, so I surround myself with parts of my brain as to allow the main element focus on other

Productivity, expression and the like

2010-12-13T08:23:00.000-05:00

I'm considering a new format for the sketching project that would have me only posting once a month of my top 5-10 sketches for a given month. Thoughts, comments, questions welcome.

Time is not just time these days

2010-12-09T09:15:00.000-05:00

The act of telling time has become an art form, as much by the clock itself as by the individual looking to know the time. One day I will amass a clock & watch collection to sate my lust for such things - for the time being (har har) here are a few of my favorite studio ve: manifold clockfrom Designboom - Weblog yiran qian: eye of the stormfrom Designboom - Weblog Wanted: The Time, In

Sit-able Sketches

2010-09-09T08:51:00.000-04:00

With all this sketching of late I've wondered about the actuality of the sketch - how easily a sketch can become a prototype.Below are two works that explore this very idea, one much more literally than the other.Be sure to follow the Nendo link to see the rest of the Thin Black Lines collection (unsit-able, but nice visual play)This chair is amazing, and nearly vertigo inducing from the front
