Funny how things work...

I was reading Esquire mag. Saw a article about James Victore (www.jamesvictore.com). Checked out his web site. Saw a piece he did on Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet. Researched the book and bought it (iBook version). Funny how things work. God Bless the interweb!

Kitchen Hood


Early work on a kitchen hood for my sister-in-law. It measures 60" long, by 34" tall. Beefy. Still needs the strapping and bolts to complete the industrial look.

While I was at my favorite coffee shop this AM...

I felt like I was being fucked. Not the good fucked, but the bad fucked. So I left without ordering. Then I thought of a totally cool quote: "Think you do something great? Bet it could be better".

New light. Early stages


New pendant light. A take on my Straight Light, BUT we shot this one up with a 12 gauge shotgun ( a Benelli Nova for you gun buffs). Can't wait till it's finished! These will hang in a high condo building in downtown Chicago.

What a shame...

No one takes initiative any more. Us "problem solvers" are a dying breed. The world is being over run with pussies.

BIG TABLE test fit

Test fitting parts of a table for a company in San Fran, test fit. 9' square. BIG! Next is paint, graphics and distress. Should be good. There's Myles our new fab man in the background, everyone say hi to Myles! The wood is only being used for temporary support.

MORE DOORS!


13 feet of badness. Sliding doors we did for a client in the Windy City. Bad mo-fo's.

Big City Desk



Big City Desk for a high roller. This one has my "Death or Glory" theme. It even has a drawer, my first!

The DOORS!




A new set of doors (2) we recently completed for a client in Manhattan. The number "303" is the building number. Sweet tits!

New Graphics


Table 7 has just been designed. Peep this. Similar to it's brother (the NY version), but I'm venturing into the blues. I love it.
