Late night visit from Brad "Super talented Artist"

I just wanted to share some artwork from my friend Brad Carle  an extremely talented artist based out of San Diego California.He was in town doing set, and lighting design for the HP Show at Mandalay Bay and made the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest 3D Light Wall. "pretty impressive huh?". In town performing for this show that you and I would never get to see were the Goo Goo Dolls, and 
Roger Daltrey from THE WHO.

So Brad  because you visited so late, and i'm working on my blog  I have to involve you in a little Q&A. So how's it going
Brad: It's going well excited to be in town again the HP show was a blast but i'm definitely looking forward to going back to San Diego this town can wear you out. Thanks for letting me crash at your house.


What got you into art?
Brad: I don't know I guess early on since there was no one my age to play with in my neighborhood I resorted to occupying my time with crayons and paper

What or Who would you describe as your influences?
Brad: Definitely music growing up my parents had season tickets to most every major musical venue in Houston, the music definitely gave me inspiration for my future artwork as well as believe it or not Star Wars really motivated my creativity.

What would you say was your most inspirational project?
Brad: Actually Club Proteus in Houston you "remember that one" we were redesigning that place almost every week, you definitely got to explore your talents truly challenging.
Also the Casino Managers house from the Las Vegas Hilton his home has some truly inspired designs I wish I could show them to you some really great stuff.

Favorite Restaurant
Brad: Shanghai Reds on Brady Island in the Houston Ship Channel truly Amazing.

What would  we find in your car stereo?
 Brad: Black Joe Lewis and the Honey Bears definitely dig those guys.

Historie Electric Rotating Round Bed

The Histoire electric rotating round bed is the same bed featured in Austin Powers and the reality series the Girls next Door .

I also spotted it available directly from Mobelform for a bit more at $22,910.

 A good insulating system protects a building from outside temperatures and protects it against air leaks. Windows are one of the greatest sources of wasted energy. The smallest gap or leak can equal as much airflow as an open window. In the winter, warm air from inside the building is trying to escape through windows. In summer, the sun conducts heat through the windows, contributing as much as 53% heat in the home. The installation of energy efficient window treatments is one of the best ways to conserve energy and reduce utility bills. read more...

Selecting tile for the home.

Design Tip  If you are trying to select tile for your home remember that flooring is supposed to be the darkest element in your interior design. Walls are next and the ceiling should be the lightest. After you have selected your tile you need to choose grout. I always take the grout swatches outside, set them on th...e dirt, and whatever color most closely matches the dirt is the selection!
