I'm not sure any of that made sense.

I’m not sure any of that made sense.

It's post holocaust mend and make do aesthetic produces some funky items but ...I'm struggling to find a way to put this...it's a pessimistic defeated sort of design, it lacks integrity ,essence, innovation. The resultant objects are less than the sum of their parts. I think it's what somebody produces when they want what I want from a product but don't have the vision, talent, resources, tenacity (delete as appropriate) to produce it. Not sure I have either but I refuse to give up. I need to explain myself further which now that you've outed my lazy blog I should do there ! If you like it that much though we should make you one.....I'm sure I seen an old Mac SE lying around in your house one of the days...It's either that or it's fated to be a fish tank ! http://www.theapplecollection.com/Collection/MacAquarium/IgorMusial.shtml You would be forgiven for thinking so…but no, steampunk doesn’t do it for me.
