I’ve been researching a lot about mimetic architecture for a project that I am currently working on. I think it’s fascinating that buildings were once made in crazy shapes, animals, milk bottles, teapots and so many more. It’s something that is not seen very much any more because the upkeep of these buildings are expensive and it’s more expensive to create a building that is out of the traditional architectural scope. The idea behind it was to copy their function or to suggest the object associated with their business. This type of architecture was more prevalent in the mid-twentieth century.

So here above, I was inspired by the real life Hollywood Flower Pot store that stood in the 1920-30s in California.

It’s the little things that make me happy.

This piece was originally something I was working on for mother’s day, but because of some assignments, it got bumped back. I was inspired by all the beautiful peony blooms that have been popping up at bodegas these past few weeks.

A piece I did for today’s The Globe and Mail’s Facts and Arguments page. This one is about being addicted to e-coupons. I can relate to constantly checking Gilt and Fab and One Kings Lane, especially when my fiance gets a steep discount for working at Gilt. Thanks AD: Matt French and step-in AD: Jason Chiu.
