One item at our degree show fund-raising event ‘Blank Canvas’, stood out to me more than the others. It was a customised skateboard deck, hand illustrated by Milton Glaser himself…
Within the illustrations were small, hidden animals, and all manner of little things. And the design itself inspired me to customise something myself, just as a break from my other work when I wanted to get away from it all for a while and relax.
So I thought I struck gold when walking home to find a traffic bollard propped up at the side of the road near my house, without a crossing in sight, perhaps having been taken by some teenagers as a token of an adventurous night.
I figured i’d give it a go, and carried it the few minutes home, where I intend to start work on what I hope to become, as successful-a piece of design as Milton Glaser’s skateboard! …My final intention is to put a lamp inside, to make it feel at home once more!
