Water, Water Everywhere!
Skaggs | New Work, Photography, Advertising | Monday, April 21st, 2008 @ at around evening timeIt took almost 2 months of planning, 1 trip from El Paso to Dallas and back, 1,000 - 5 gallon water bottles, 3 trucks, 2 tractors, 1 buggy and a whole lot of man (and woman) power to show that TOTO’s High Efficiency toilets are all about saving water—lots of water.

Established only in 2001, the brand was set-up by Giles Barker, a Graphic Designer and his wife, a trained cook; a perfect match of good design and good ingredients.
Always appreciative of pretty colours and anything with sugar, these chocolate bars have got me hooked and determined to eat my way through the whole …
The Revolution will be Fabulous
Sam | Experience, Art, Fashion | Thursday, May 8th, 2008 @ around lunchtimeI’m all about random designer luxury goods. Not so much the handbags, umbrellas and cell phone cases. More like KVD’s Chanel Surfboard and my Mark Jacobs Bean Bags (courtesy of Cara). I see them not as luxury goods - but more like works of fashion art. When I came across Peter Gronquist’s latest exhibition at the Gallery 1998 in LA, I positively leapt out of my chair with glee. Weapons aren’t really my thing BUT I will make an exception for the Chanel Rocket Launcher, The …
