Holy Interiors porn!


The Kitchen in the film Mammoth

Successful New york couple played by Gael Garcia Bernal + Michele Williams.

Nothing like your own private deck in the middle of Soho!

A while back Apartment Therapy did a really great post on the Top Ten Decor Inspiration films which elicited a huge response amongst readers who chimed in with their own favourite 'decor' movies. Last week I watched a film which could easily be added to the list: Mammoth was written + directed by Swedish director Lukas Moodysson and centers around the life of a young + ultra successful New York couple played by the gorgeous Gael Garcia Bernal + Michele Williams. The couple live in an enormous penthouse apt in the middle of Soho complete with giant pillars and dreamy red kitchen! It's kinda ridiculous but quite fun to look at. Highly recommended if into Interiors porn and/or snooping around New York apts. (sigh!) ps. This film is available on Netflix.ca!

Inside Job WOW


Really amazing. Go see it.


Director Charles Ferguson
His pathological directness is inspirational.
Never before have I heard a documentary maker calmly say to his subject "You gotta be kidding?" or "Excuse me but you can't be serious"

Saw the Inside Job on the weekend.
As the Globe's Liam Lacey writes Writer/Director Charles Ferguson does an amazing job of "skewering squirming lobbyists, government apologists and academic flacks who stand on the wrong side of the public good". My favourite part of the film is hearing Ferguson's bold comments which can be heard off-camera mid interview. Loved that!

Second best part of film is the fantastic opening credit sequence which is underscored with Peter Gabriel's Big Time. I thought I kinda hated that song but it really works in this context.
Highly recommended and sure to inspire you to put all your money under the mattress.

New screen and new prints on their way!



A brand new screen with images for 4 prints:

Close up of the 2 layers of the shoe print.
The first layer is the colour and just looks blobby.
The second layer is the line work which gives the print it's definition.
The same process goes for all prints below.


Here is what the Librarian show print will look like except more 'printy' looking and on nicer paper!

Close up of the 2 layers for the iron print.

End result.

Close up of mannequin layers.

Back by popular Demand: A reprint of the Ochre mannequin print.

Close up of the Grater layers on the screen.

Ta da! Again this gives you an idea of what the finished print will look like. It'll be screened on a archival lovely paper with a jagged edge.
(Hmm.. wouldn't this be a perfect xmas giftie for the cook in your life?)

Happy to report that I have a new silk screen ready and will soon have some new small prints available. There'll be 3 new images: Librarian shoe, Little Iron, and Little Grater and a reprint of the Ochre Mannequin in small format. I'll provide details of all sizes and prices soon but wanted to get these pics up pronto!

Added bonus: these prints will be available both through myself and at the wonderful workroom. (More on that later!) Another added bonus: I will be doing very large runs of these small prints in order to make the prices more affordable. In the meantime please email me if you're interested in a print.


One more pic taken of the screen facing outside my window.I thought it was kinda a sexy shot.
I love the groovy grafitti that I get to look at all day.

Today


Pushing against something that won't change.

This image is from one of my favourite films: The Tango Lesson by British film maker Sally Potter. Amongst it's many themes it explores the struggle many creative woman face between the cerebral and the physical.

Here is the full poster. I think brilliant.
The painting above which the tango position mimics is Delacroix's Jacob wrestling the angel. A good image for strong women to meditate on when feeling particularly frustrated.
