the only thing on our table
is a basket of limes.


and i'm digging
small windows
small doors

we're cooking frijoles
and fried bananas tonight

it's sunset
and i'm sleepy
from the sun.


at this very moment a
jack rabbit is hopping
by the front porch.
the ocean waves
are roaring.


last night we
listened to obama's
state of the union outside
on the bbc radio. it was kind
of nice to feel so far away
from all that mess.



i feel hopeful though.

which is a good thing.

my father has
farm land down here
and that's where i am.

floral oil table cloth and
nacho libre posters are from
our friend's house in town

so rad.

a moveable work space

john commoner via reference library



i love people's desks


whether, dirty, clean or obsessive,
what stays on your desks for days,
months and even years?


send me a photo
of your work space.

and i might
post it!

correct me if i'm wrong

all a room needs
is one great textile

it's like wearing all black
and wrapping a bold scarf
around your neck

i'm inspired by
the houses in greece
where adobe rooms are
edited down to a simple
throw over the bed.


nonchalant style

try a multi-toned
mexican or southwestern
blanket or go mediterranean
with a light-weight woven throw.
try covering the pillows too, because
it could make your room, or
tent, more versatile.


maybe you can
point me to some
really unique modern
or vintage bed linens

like this

we lived on a tiny island in the banda sea

my father was
doing a documentary
and he brought us along

i wore a sarong
and we'd hike
through the
jungle

i was the local odd
one with the white
irish skin and
freckles.

we are citizens
of the island because
my father climbed the active
volcano in a race and won.

ace hotel
palm springs

my first advertisement


"at ace,
only canvas
comes between
you and the desert"

line quality

in drafting class
you learn about
different line
weights

2. old town via mchl
a bit dreary?

3. backyard bill

i trust wood more than anything

i have never owned

a table that wasn't wooden

a desire for
metal or glass is
always a temporary affair


different than love
