Dallas


I was in Dallas for my day job. I was told it was a dump, but I really didn’t think it was. The first day I was there, I was really headachey so had to spend some sleep-time in my hotel. Seeking fresh air, I walked along the Katy Trail. I was taking pics of the various flora and fauna, when a cyclist stopped to be “friendly”? I couldn’t tell! Returning to the trail, I stumbled upon a little enclave of Spanish-mission architecture, cafes, and fancy shops…including the DWR. It was much larger than the one Adam manages, and they had a Swan Chair on the floor! I was excited to sit in it. It was uncomfortable.

Womb Chair art



I recently almost bought a Knoll Womb Chair.

My artistic history with the chair goes back a bit. Not only did I include one in my Cannonball story (from the I ♥ Marvel series) but I found a drawing of one in my files dated 1990.


During college I was in a bit of a animation and Disney-esque animation phase. Hundreds of drawings probably amounted to a few seconds of motion.

This drawing was co-inspired by some Rockwell painting. Except I mod-ed it up. Boy in Womb Chair "ignoring" GF as she snootily walks away. I then drew each element of this as separate images: boy, girl, chair. I probably had big ideas to animate this.

Yes, I know the Womb Chair isn't tufted.
