Sometimes we find interesting things that are really well presented on other blogs. Somethings we find interesting things that don’t quite require an in-depth look. Sometimes we blog about something and then others also blog about the same or a similar idea. We needed a place post a fair number (hopefully not too many) links [...]
Actually, this one, on the left, is a cake set design model. Pastry Chef Anne Heap of Pink Cake Box in Denville NJ made this cake for the birthday celebration of a television celebrity chef. I just read about Anne on a News 12 NJ blog. They have many images, and certainly Pink Cake Box [...]
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 [...]
I think we’ve blogged about Tree Houses. I know our friend Eve Politanoff has. Twice, I think. I know I have always been fascinated about tree house since reading about the construction of the Swiss Family Robinson Tree house at Disney World. At the time, I had likely just finished the book. Tree houses, like [...]
MILTON GLASER DRAWS & LECTURES from C. Coy on Vimeo. Hmmm, the video doesn’t seem to show up or be viewable here. Be sure to click through, the link works. This post is all about the video. I went with an iconic design instead. I’ve posted about drawing and the importance of drawing every day. [...]
Daniel Jansenson’s new book Remarkable Renderworks from what should clearly now be dubbed Nemetschek Press is a terrific resource.

I was walking my dog Sophia with my friend Terry yesterday and a brown car drove past. Terry commented that she did not like brown cars. I generally agreed, but this car was in the back of my mind. On the way to a client meeting with Paul today we were discussing the colors of [...]
I guess if there are living designers worthy of their own museum one might very well be modernist Richard Meier. The Long Island City model museum will once again be open to visitors. This is the fourth summer that Meier has invited the public into a 3,600-square-foot space, which houses more than a hundred models [...]
I like to blog about houses. To us they are perfect structures and great expressions of the art of architecture. A great house serves an important function or functions. A great house is also an excellent example of three dimensional composition. This home by Blouin Tardif Architecture in Quebec is a very nice example. I first [...]
Steve Scaysbrook at the Konstrukshon CPD Weblog has some important thoughts regarding CAD File Formats. In this age of the Building Information Model (BIM) where practitioners of different arts and crafts collaborate on the same drawing there should be a cross platform, cross application standard format. There should be no reason (and if there is, [...]
