Just 3 Leaves
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 at 4:33PM 
I am super duper stressed at the moment (like pen and paper for endless to do lists on my bedside table kind of stressed). This state is really not ideal for developing creative ideas. It's like "argh I'm so stressed about the fact that I have to sit around and be all unstressed and dreamy in order to create work!" So I'm delegating other tasks to allow me to wander the streets in search of stained concrete and dead leaves. Yes, that was what I had to do today to find some inspiration for a CD I'm designing. You might not be able to tell by looking that I'm working really really hard. In fact I'm sure I looked mighty suspicious crouched in the corner of the undercover carpark today.
(And I must say it was bloody hard to find ugly stained concrete and dead leaves in the Western Suburbs. Man! These people paint, clean and sweep up leaves! Even back alley way toilet blocks are neat.)
In the middle of driving about trying to find UGLY, and dead things, I SAW these incredible leaves. Uh, helloooooo god of masterful design!
