70′s Biker Culture and Design

May 31, 2012

I remember seeing choppers on the road when traveling in the 70′s and I recall discovering Easyriders magazine. I must not go to the right news stand, as I haven’t seen the publication in years. I’m glad it’s still around. I have a painting based on a chrome backrest I saw published. Great set design [...]

Extremely Cool Architecture Rehab and Reuse

March 7, 2012

Perfect as film Production Design, great spaces and a beautiful mix of textures. London architects Project Orange have added two stories to the roof of a Victorian brick warehouse in Sheffield, London, UK, that looks like another building, contemporary, stacked on top. The vertical expansion replaces a pitched roof, and creates three duplex studio offices within [...]

Someone said the ceiling should be white?

January 18, 2012

I like the Houzz site, but all too often it seems to exist to sell the obvious to the oblivious. Apparently, it is a revelation that ceilings do not have to be painted white. I suppose this would be Set Design 101, but maybe the idea isn’t covered during Interior Design school? According to the [...]

Why can’t News Stands be art?

November 11, 2011

The street side news stands offer many possible choices for a film set designer or production designer. Fewer choices for the news stand operators. In what often seems as an all too zealous effort to ‘clean up’ NYC or fix what isn’t broken, iconic news stands are being replaced with homogenized glass and steel structures [...]

Of course subway stations are cool…

May 28, 2011

…and not just as set designs for James Bond movies. This one, at left could be the Gates of Hell. Or the entry to one of the Bond villain’s lairs. Or the Stockholm subway. More than makes braving the cold worth the trip, I would think. The New York City Subway is terrific, but it [...]

Going Hollywood… at least for the clothes

April 15, 2011

Only two weeks left…if you live in LA or can hop over some time before 30th April, there are racks of costumes on display at The Fashion Institute of Design and Marketing (FIDM) Museum. If you can’t get there from wherever you are, you can get a glimpse at the Frock Talk Flickr page. The [...]

La Vampire Nue

October 31, 2010

Well, we haven’t actually seen this film, but we will. Excerpted from the IMdB listing; From the title and the opening sequence of ‘La Vampire Nue‘ it looks like you’re in for a dreamlike erotic nudie vampire flick … quickly it metamorphoses into something more complex, and difficult to categorize. The mysterious and sensual title [...]

#Vectorworks and Concept Art

August 3, 2010

For the past few months I have encountered a lot of concept art. Some as set design concepts, some in other fields. Much more so than usual it seems. Certainly enough to find inspiration. That last statement has more to do with the quality of the art than mere quantity. Simply put, concept art is [...]

More than 70 Concept Cars

February 5, 2010

But why do none of these fly? Concept cars, like Haute Couture allow designers’ imaginations to soar, even if four wheels are required on the ground. It is interesting to see the influence of set design on industrial design. Many of these vehicles and some current production vehicles all conjure images of Tim Burton/Anton Furst’s [...]
