A quirky sense-o-humour coupled with an indelible sense of stylish sarcasm makes it difficult to take the world too seriously doesn't it? My faves: fun, passion and hard work. I work here everyday: www.designdialog.ca

Ralph you and I are certainly on the same "page". This week I had an idea for a card collection that uses a single image and a single word to describe a person, experience or place. The most successful pieces of writing, books, art are the ones that look simple, yet they require so much effort to make them appear so.

Hey thanks for all your comments Karen. It is appreciated that someone out there sees this stuff has some value to them. Entertainment aside I really enjoy making these small vignettes. Share your ideas with me anytime.
