Dennis

When you think of Dennis Hopper, you think of an actor and not a photographer or artist. Having seen the current exhibition at ACMI (click here), I've changed my mind. Dennis Hopper and the New Hollywood is a fantastic exhibition showcasing an Hopper’s life’s work, his photography, collaborations and personal art collection. The work gives you a glimpse into Hollywood from the 60's through to present day, covering everything from the top down, wrinkles and all. The exhibition also includes paintings, photographs and sculptures by artists such as Andy Warhol, Ed Ruscha, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Jenny Holzer. Well worth a detour (click here). 

Trust

This refreshing letter arrived via email a while ago. Although we aren't Andy Warhol and it's highly unlikely you're Mick Jagger (however if you're reading this, please get in touch), we think the 'trust' shown in the letter is something all clients and designers crave. From a client perspective, the idea that the designer will over deliver something fabulous with a minimum of hand holding. From the designer (artist/maker), the idea that you have a free reign to develop something that really pushes the idea, without restriction.
