Design is a vessel. There’s the whole Buddhist thing about the essence of a bowl being its emptiness—that’s why it’s useful. Its emptiness allows it to hold something. I guess that means that design must talk about something else. If you make design about design, you’re just stacking bowls, and that’s not what bowls are for.
I hate it when microwave meals say things like “delectable” and “exquisite” on the packaging. I’m eating radioactive garbage just let me live
Just thinking lately how much power you have as an artist working in any kind of visual communication field, and how we’re taught to distort the public eye from the very beginning.
Many times when I was in my classes I’d get critique back that this character...
It’s a lazy overcast Sunday, read this Vanity Fair profile (it’s one of my favorites they’ve ever done) and lie around naked with some tea and rum.

Fashion design is not about revealing or accentuating the shape of a woman’s body ; its purpose is to allow a person to be who they are. Fashion is interesting because it’s always moving. It always relates to social movement, politics and the current financial situation.
I have never chosen to share my memories or thoughts of that day. I have tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to put them behind me, preferring to think of things that can be created, not destroyed, and that bring beauty and joy. I gravitated toward the field of clothing design, partly because it is a creative format that is modern and optimistic.
1. Trust your aesthetic instincts.
2. Don’t let production design be hindered by realism.
3. Don’t let cinematography be hindered by realism, either!
4. Don’t let sound effects be hindered by, you got it, realism.
5. Let your influences guide you.
6. But don’t let your influences guide you too much.
7. If you’re going to shoot improv, use two cameras.
8. Expressive visual elements carrying over a cut make images cut smoothly together.
The witch’s spike-heeled shoe, while traditionally associated with easy virtue and availability, has been transformed into a symbol of womanly power. While still maintaining its allure and aesthetic appeal, its very design can transform it from a device for enticement to a deadly weapon.
By itself, with no modification, a stiletto-heeled shoe makes a formidable weapon. Available in an instant, it can be firmly grasped and employed to scrape, gouge, rake, and generally wreak mayhem on any pest who accelerated into assaultive status….
The one shoe on, one shoe off technique consists of one shoe used as a hand weapon, while the other remains on the foot for kicking, scraping, and stomping your opponent. A stiletto heel ground into the top of your victim’s foot can have a discouraging effect. If your hand held shoe succeeds in doubling up your opponent, a pointed toe to the face, head, or groin can be struck with greater force from the leg muscles. You might consider steel toe inserts.
A spike heel can be drilled out, creating a sheath or scabbard for an ice pick or dagger affixed to the shoe, which then serves as a substantial handle.
Whatever your method, there is no excuse for any Satanic witch to compromise her glamour, if she has that potential. Far from being more vulnerable in spike heels, she is actually more intimidating to men who have perhaps never encountered a real woman. Next time some creep gets out of hand, try threatening him with your tennis shoe or Birkenstock and see how far it gets you. Of course, you can always run. But too many woman have been doing that for too long.
