Z Gallerie

When I lived in Cincinnati, one of my most favorite stores was Z Gallerie. Now that I'm back in Buffalo, I can't get that fix - and man does it stink. Thankfully, they have a great online store (and facebook page!) that I frequent. In my new interior make-over frame of mind, I've been trying to decide what I like best from their store. I think the winner for the living room right now is the Aiden Chair and the Aiden Sofa! The Aiden Chair sells for $999.00 and the sofa, $1,299.00. They pair this ensemble with this painting, which I think compliments nicely.

Z Gallerie also has some great sales going on right now. Check it out!

A New Year, A New Post

It's been a while. How about some cool design? Check these sofas out...amazing. These upholstered pieces of art are created by deadgood. They are definitely on my want list. Don't like the rainbow buttons? The buttons come in other color schemes as well.

So lately, I have been fairly productive. I finished my high priority goals, etc., started coming up with new production ideas for my designs, and feel like am beginning to spiral upward into an all new creative level. I have been drawing again and even started taking photos - for the sake of actually trying to take better photos with good composition and different angles. Let's get one straight - I am certainly not a photographer! However, a little practice never hurt anybody! I am planning to get into printmaking this winter...
So let's talk about the drawings... I've done {a} few so far this year. I think I was stuck drudging through some creative quick sand, but I'm out now. 

My Illustrative Style: 
1. A LOT of detail.

2. Fine Lines
3. Playful 
4. All different subject

    matters of the imagination.

5. Pen and Ink

I guess a list cannot support a vision. So pictures will have to do. Here is a small taste of my latest. Remember: I am just getting back into it! Better, more completed drawings to follow! 

My plan: 
Products for the home with my designs... Fun and Modern.  Just be patient, as prototypes of these items will be posted soon! In the meantime, enjoy pictures I post of my work and progressions I make in drawings and designs!
P.S. "Ruth" is my middle name!
