PJ Harvey - Man Size

Dear record companies & music video directors,

Please watch this video.

You see, you don't have to throw tons of money at big-budget 'concept videos'. All you need is to enhance the song with a simple piece that inspires emotion.

With love,

Sean

ps- no more back-up dancers

Vertical Blinds


I was laying in bed and looking at my vertical blinds when I began thinking...

Every apartment seems to come ready with a set of PVC vertical blind window treatments. They were pretty hot in the 80's, but have slowly gone downhill in popularity ever since. Somehow these vertical blinds have become so taboo in the design world, that every design makeover show makes a big point at removing them as soon as the makover begins.

Today I'd like to offer a rethinking of the vertical blind.

The PVC vertical blind:
- Fuctionally perfect. You can filter or cut light out as gradually or drastically as you please.
- Creates a level of privacy while still allowing light to directly come thru.
- PVC is super easy to clean.
- Simple yet stylish design. I've never been a fan of over-dressing a window in Renaissance fair chic.

I can go on and on with this, but I think I've made myself clear. Let's bring the PVC vertical blind back! I think it's time.

Dolly: He's Alive


Classic Dolly at the 1989 CMA's.

What more can you ask for in a performance!?

Wait for it, forward to 3:25 to see the climax... so powerful, so good.

I'm even considering converting... just kidding.

Shabat Shalom my friends,

SYI: Thanks to Jack for sharing this video w/ me.

Textiles of the past: Mid-Century Hexagon


"Textiles of the past" will hopefully be a growing collection of... textiles of the past, here at seanyashar.com

This is a pic of an old building with the coolest carpeting. I wish developers would spend the extra dollar on these type of touches nowadays. Industrial quality carpeting in hallways just does not work anymore.

BTW, I'm supporting the democratization of design in 2008.
