Designing Design (working title)

Did you know I am photographer? In fact I got into fashion through photography, I loved fashion photography and styling the shoots. This picture of PoP Icon Madonna is currently at auction by Phillips De Pury & Company. Taken by Mr. Herb Ritts, an amazing photographer who's works where in all the big the magazines. This particular picture is valued at $18,000- $20,000. A bit too garish for me to place in my house, but the picture is stunning and the perfect image of the subject. My favorite part is the angelic light around her arms, just draw the eye up. Not too mention those legs, those muscular horse legs wrapped in fish nets just a wonderful texture.

This is my first post about robots and the future. I do believe robots, integrated computers and augmented reality is where public design is migrating too. This is the Santander Financial complex in Madrid. Its one of the largest banks of the world and is actually a huge sprawling complex, they call a city. The visitor center/entrance has mobile robot butlers to take you to where you may need to go if you do not know the way, since this place is so large. These things would be great in malls or even department stores. Check out the video for amazing concepts in the future of the design of public spaces.

I received an invitation to participate in the Junior League of Dallas Rock the Runway Event. They wanted me to "decorate" a tote bag... Instead of merely decorating a tote, I decided to build an entire new bag around it and turn the tote into a pocket inside the bag. The bag itself was reconstructed from a pair of jeans I had left over from my first production run a little over a year ago. Not pictured though is the great blue plaid shirt material used as the bag lining. I think the bag is going to be part of a silent auction, it better win....

I dont usually care to go out to the movies, I hate crowds and they are usually ridiculously busy. However this movie theater in Hong Kong is a visual feast in design and may help me overcome my disdain for them.
