great art, very boring hotel environment though. it looks like no one has ever lived there.

im sure you will hear from eames demetrios, if not already. he wrote an editorial to dwell once about mentioning knock offs as a solution... im ambivalent myself, as knock offs can be just as important as the real thing, ie keener/jackobsen 7 chair. it has everything to do with what people can afford. i remember reading something about the ray eames white fiberglass chaise and how it was created for an easily reproducible/inexpensive furniture competition. vitra makes it for 9000 dollars. a knockoff is 900. which one seems more like the original ethos of the piece?

thats not very nice guys... i think its a neat little place! bravo!

have you ever been up to goodhart? its right up the lake from harbor springs. there are many nice minimalist cabins along that route. i spent many times in one in particular that was owned by my fathers late friend. he had a nice wassilly chair in front of a large picture window overlooking lake michigan with all of his books close by. it was designed by his father, who was an architect in detroit. it is easily one of the best places in michigan, in my opinion.

now thats a portrait i can get behind!

i love that blu dot photo. such a perfect design!

i saw cries and whispers with my mother in law.... imagine my face at that one scene... in a theatre. a pure ricky gervais moment.

i love how this cute video pissed someone off...

i consider this real art. its saying something to someone obviously. that message may be "im copying something i really like" or "im too cheap to go after a real one." both are valid messages though. would i rather people go after my art(http://www.flickr.com/photos/breathsound/sets/72157608484253546/) of course (hint, hint)... but people dont want that. which is a message as well. the thing that i find fascinating here is that people are creating instead of buying. which is good and creative for the "buyer" and bad for the "24/7 artist". oh well. art is fascinating, lovely, and frustrating....

i would love to see the faces of the owners when the sheepskin sleeping bed is chewed up. that may be the first moment they realize that they bought that for a dog.... im still grasping with the question if this is real....
