CURRENTLY READING
OLIVER SACKS
Oaxaca Journal
2002
"The best-selling author of Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks is well know as an explorer of the human mind—a neurologist with a gift for complex, insightful portrayals of people and their conditions. However, he is also a card-carrying member of the American Fern Society, and since childhood has been fascinated by these primitive plants and their ability to survive and adapt in many climates.
Oaxaca Journal is Sacks's spellbinding account of his trip with a group of fellow fern enthusiasts to the beautiful, history-steeped province of Oaxaca, Mexico. Bringing together Sacks's passion for natural history and the richness of human culture with his sharp eye for detail, Oaxaca Journal is a captivating evocation of a place, its plants, its people, and its myriad wonders".

HOCKNEY PT.2 - SKETCHBOOK WORK
David Hockney
Sketchbook Work
Some more inspiration for my own sketchbook. I like these quick observations Hockney made as much as the finished pieces because they really get a sense of the place itself, before it gets filtered through his brain and altered. He fills the pages really well also and his use of paint allows him to be both bold and detailed at once (important when observing nature)

BRUNO MUNARI
Artist / Designer
I love the work of Munari, and find that it influences me regularly in how I approach design work. I love the sense of playfulness present in his work, as well as freedom within design. These images are just the tip of the iceberg of his collection of work as a whole.
