this is good.....

when architects get it right, its always visually pleasing, hits all my pleasure centers, but when that design is teamed with a super location, life is good. design like this makes me aim higher, work harder, so one day a place like this will be mine, because the idea of someone owning a place like this without having he proper appreciation for it make me wanna cut myself.

my weekly design fix......

architecture really gets me going nowadays, so when i see stuff like this it makes my day and gets my own proverbial creative juices flowing.

the rooftop apartment picture in new york is designer diane vh. not too shabby.

these pictures are of a home designed in only black and white, very simple concept when you think about it, but still unique. i think it could have been terrible, but it isn't, its pretty awesome.

terry shoots....

terry richardson is the go to guy for celebrity portraits and high fashion/big name magazine shoots.

the guy shoots everyone from musos to models to the commander in chief

..... here are a few examples.....i like the simplicity and the not so subtle suggestiveness.....

ray fucking kapp......

its no secret that i like the good things in life, sometimes to my own downfall i will admit, and this extends to architecture as well. i wasn't always aware of different architects etc, more just of the certain styles that i found attractive. then, one day i was watching an episode of californication on a plane and ray kappa's name came up, he was referred to as "ray fucking kappa' and i thought, any architect that gets a fuckin inserted into their name, on a prime time show no less, is probably worth looking into.....

so after much internets, i found some pics of ray kappa's own self designed home.... take a peek, i think you'll find that he is most splendiforis.........
