New Chair

September 27, 2010 – 10:55 am

Picked up a new desk chair this weekend, Knoll (Charles) Pollock Executive chair. Kind of the chromed-out 1100 of mid-century-designed office furniture. Even more important than the chrome, however, is the comfort. I think this unit was manufactured→

New Pencils, Etc.

August 5, 2010 – 7:05 pm

Went to the art supply store and bought some new pencils, etc.! Really feeling 0.7mm lead for sketching. I got the Draft-Tecs specifically for pocket-carrying (the lead sleeve retracts into the body, pretty cool) at my day job. Also,→
