traditional Japanese architecture, the Rimpa School and Ogata Korin's 8-Point Bridge, Matisse, bromeliads,
succulents and other waxy flora
particular loves
bamboo, coral, moss, woodgrain, silhouettes & other cut-outs, plastic,
low-resolution images, the photo copier, off-registration prints, Max
Ernst's Lunar Asparagus, NYC fire call boxes that look like Kannon, Fauvist color sense, the Noguchi Museum,

favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation
second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

musings on the designer portrait
 I don't know about you, but when it comes to websites, I like to keep the photos of myself small and blurry, in the interest of putting the focus on the pieces I design, instead of me. I like to use small and blurry cellphone photos of myself. There is something to be said for low-resolution. Or the Japanese sticker booth pictures. Those are even smaller! Like the one on my ABOUT US page. Now I have to come up with a good clear photo, however, for www.brooklynindiemarket.com. What to do.  Hey, could I use this one? I like this one. It shows me taking a photo with my new cellphone camera.  Or how about this one? Me deeply contemplating the menu in a hand-drawn noodle restaurant. The one at the top is me eating the hand-drawn noodles with a big grin.  And just for your reference, here are the hand-drawn noodles. Hey can I use this for my designer portrait?

I must protest! We, the viewing public, would prefer a clear shot of your face to a clear shot of clear broth.
I thought as much. But you say this looking at my blurry photo wanting more. Isn't that what fashion is all about, wanting more? So haven't I succeeded with my blurry one? I know, I'll find a clear one.
i dont have anything against blurry photos. not any photo is good only for being clear, and not any photo is bad only for being blurry.
i like the 3rd one the best. :)
your shoulders arent blurry, thats a good compromise. :D
