Been pondering this detail-potential patent- since 2017. One of my cranial habits is problem solving when it grabs my attention. This is a chronic issue for aging medical facilities: water intrusion. Getting operations back online means literally $100k’s daily so every day counts. A non-drywall solution while still maintaining fire rating is the key. Modularity and flexibility in dimensions, with the panel, seaming details having the final finish completes the product line.

May the 4th be with you!!

Ever get that feeling someone keeps watching you? And not just for treats?

Another weekend project, this was a piece Lilia sketched out a few years back, and I was always going to frame it. When I started thinking of a cool frame, the SpeakEasy door slider thing came into my head. Had some scrap Wenge around so here it is. I use a butcher block natural product so no stain; it’s amazing how dark, dense and beautiful this African hardwood is. I should hang it on a door now…

Chris Hemmah, a longtime friend and fellow creative spurred me dreaming about a sequel to the Fisher Price little people painting…this time more of a nod to adventures in ‘living light with purpose’, and in his case ‘little dwelling creations’ as well. This has been a centuries old practice for boat builders and explorers bold enough to cast conventional thinking to the wayside and intentionally solve Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs. As pure as it gets folks, but to each one of you, be happy and healthy friends!!!

The little people are a childhood collective memory of ours: dreaming, playing and remembering times of security and safety TO. JUST. BE.
