It's random, but then again, that's the point."

I discovered the work of this artist a few years back. The imagery is inspired by his life in China.

Winery_Wonder

Merus Winery in Napa Valley is a cool modern interpretation of the centuries old winery tradition.
Complete with funky light pendants and long tasting tables this place is just cool.

A_Place_For_Kids

I spent the last weekend with my very fun and rambunxious nieces and nephews at Disneyland. After a day following them around I was convinced that more active spaces for children are needed. Kids have endless energy and curiousity. I found these projects afterward that I thought were a good alternative to the typical disney experience.
Here is a japanese playland made entirely of nets and bouncy walls.


The best part of this playland is that kids play on top of the net too!

Climbing walls in a school, a slide next to the stair. School is fun again!

Jungle gyms don't have to be boring, why not a giant ant to climb on.
