Design Clinic

Oh erasing is more like it

The transportation hubs/public spaces like the Stockholm Metro embracing visual cacophony. It gives me hope. I can’t speak about the quality of these strange little dioramas but it’s clear that it aspires to be interactive and thought provoking. That’s the next frontier in design.

Immediate disqualification for having a redneck name and no college degree.

I hired a dogwalker because one of his clients mentioned in the testimonial that Andrew had knitted sweaters for the client’s two dogs.

I’m digressing here…This is an incredible painting by Ms Farmer because it offers a glimpse of how sad and sleazy Epstein’s universe was. Jes Stanley. Her paintings are oral history in visual form.

The interregator tried framing the question in multiple ways. Referencing the manual is a sleazy mode of not answering inflammatory questions.

No, he’s a compromised asshole.

Both fake obviously ai.

Whoa 🤯

"It's not just a car, it's a piece of art."

RFKJ promoting his endorsement deal with Steak and Shake.

Good. Someone should rescue the goat he’s been abusing sexually and dragging around to protests. Sheeesh!

Ellen McGirt at the Design Observer:

“We’ve always needed humans with good judgment to decide which problems to solve and which solutions are most promising, we’ve never really needed overcapitalized, ego-driven, isolated public figures to explain to us.”

Why let them frame yet another debate?

Pavements!

Lamb at #6 is remarkable. It’s this love story between a married couple and a baby lamb in remote Iceland. They lost their baby and they go crazy because of their isolation and grief. Then, they start to imagine the lamb is their child…

The Dutch architect and author Rem Koolhaus wrote eloquently years ago how the Prada store he was designing was replacing the artists lofts in Soho as some sort of evolutionary path, culture > shopping. Surely, he wrote something prophetic about Times Square???

Underground time capsule of The Deuce at 40th and 7th Avenue. Too bad when you go upstairs it’s the Disney store and Chic-fil-a.

Alessandro Di-Girolamo (@whywegotothemovies) The Secret Agent dir Kleber Mendonça Filho A genre-bending historical political thriller anchored by a magnetic lead performance from Wagner Moura and photographed beautifully by Evgenia Alexandrova....

Engaged in The Secret Agent last night on Hulu. Excellent 70s style thriller. Almost perfection, except the color grading which made the film look like a postcard. But artistic decisions
should be respected, yo.

Ziggy is interviewing them in person today and tomorrow. It’s only 2 walkers, we see who he responds to.

This is bonded and insured. I was asked how my dog gets along with cats and to rate the interaction. They’re think they’re covering themselves. But, I’ve heard of their sitters bailing in the middle of jobs.

“technology is supposed to make our lives better!”

I want to give a middle finger to the engineers who made up these flimsy questions and trivialize human interaction. Because of this shit, Ziggy got turned down by a snotty dog walker w/whom we had two stellar referrals.

It crossed my mind too

Despite lofty aspirations, definitely not the Volkshalle (People’s Hall) by Albert Speer. Nazi architecture was a mixed bag, this is just bad.

ISO a dogwalker and just had my first experience with the Rover app. Questions asked: the dog’s last dental visit and his 5 breeds (Lhasa Apso, Shi Tsu, Havanese, White terrier and Chihuahua.) It’s like vetting a 3 year old for a top NYC preschool. A little excessive, non?

Ellen Hi, I was wondering who did this beautiful illustration on my timeline ;) Laurene

Old timey is the rage in corporate branding. Learning their lesson from the recent Cracker Barrel rebrand fiasco. Pizza Hut goes back to the 1969 archives for a brand refresh.

Isn’t that obstruction?
