words _ observe

yes.

and btw, making art is a way to do that.

actually, i think especially if

you do life drawing.

words on design _ on being revolutionary

words from american architect denise scott brown (b. 1931, Rhodesia).

here you can read a recent interview with her.

find more quotes on design (well, architecture) on ilikearchitecture.

basically, the idea is that with everyone trying to be revolutionary,

you will be most revolutionary if you try to be ordinary.

i love these screen wallpapers by corina nika

beautiful and inspiring.

i'm using one of them, too.

can you guess which one? :)

i think i should change it to the

"create" one tho. :P

by the very talented corina nika.

more of her stuff here.

gotta check out

her very stylish blog, too.

words _ progress

some wise words

from laura bohill's dribble.

just another note to self _ on mediocrity

i'm always afraid of mediocrity,

which many a time leads to my

not making anything.

but yes, we all need to understand

that mediocrity is almost always

an unavoidable stage

that we need to get through.

what's your point of view?

:)

note to self _ great things

yepp. this is a note to self.

cuz i tend to forget...

via melsaid. (lovely blog!)

Great things never came from comfort comfort zones.

and i quote _ from paul rand

a really good quote from paul rand.

it's not that one should copy other people's stuff,

but much rather that one should

simply do their stuff without the concerns

of creating something truly original, something

groundbreaking, something that hasn't been

seen before.

on the other hand, when you do

your work, possibly every day,

then, i think that after a good while

you are bound to create original,

maybe even groundbreaking stuff

that hasn't been seen before...

what's your point on this?
