i find FMR inspiring. i can't seem to locate their official website and the best i have on FMR so far is this:

http://www.designboom.com/portrait/fmr.html

i just learnt about the intricacies of the yixing chinese teapots and the art of serving chinese tea which is vastly different from the art of serving japanese tea, and that's my current inspiration right now.

backgrounders here: http://www.yixing.com/teapotinfo.html

then ... a few months ago, i came across these really kewl set of fountain pens by inoxcrom with designs by jordi labanda. i think jordi's work is pretty fabulous:

gosh, i just posted a response to this and didn't see it come out. oh well, bear with me dahlings if i repeat myself.

inspiration from magazines - will always be franco maria ricci's FMR magazine, although i know there was a problem with ownership last year and there's a change now so it's peppered more with advertisements whereas in it's original holistic form, it's the only magazine meant to be without advertisements.

citizen k is cool too, especially for €1 every quarterly issue. then there's the italian kult magazine, i love their agenda kult section where they mention all the young designers and the inspirational work they're into - do wish they're available commercially too!

then current inspiration in terms of art and craft and only because i love understanding the workmanship and effort that goes into certain artistic creation, are these amazing quaint clay chinese teapots called yixing teapots (see: http://www.yixing.com/teapotinfo.html). the art of tea drinking chinese style is vastly different from the art of tea drinking japanese style and the tea wares handcrafted in their highest form is truly an art worth preserving.

lastly, there's jordi labanda (see: http://www.jordilambanda.com) and the inoxcrom fountain pens that hold his designs - kewl writing instruments! i find jordi's work absolutely fabulous!

baby, we're all beautiful!

Inspiration:

1. Having information come to me at the right place and the right time because it comes from a love of what you do.

2. The peeps and co-ordinators on this board. I wouldn't realize shit stank if it weren't for peeps on this board...

3. Savile Row Tailors: Kilgour, French and Stanbury | Timothy Everest | Bud Powell | Ozwald Boateng | Richard James.

4. My purpose in life: Creating a bridge between fashion and future technology...

5. My boyfriend: I'm not usually mushy or anythin' but this love is crazy. It's also Clear and Pure.

6. Interior Design | Architecture.

7. Global culture.

8. People of African decent globally--thanks for a rich history and heritage.

9. The street. Love bein' in that muhfucka.

10. The DIY attitude of the current generation and the one behind us. Gen Y: Keep that shit fresh--all of us here in Gen X will keep you informed.

married to the mob inspires me---their 'designs' are so shit I feel like anything is possible. hell, if I knew Spencer's Gifts-type slogan based tees were en vogue I would've started my own line years ago. ah well, there's no accounting for taste.
