Japanese food.

My favourite food has to be Japanese. The reason for this is i love seafood and all the other great ingrediants they use in their cooking. Its to me the stock and mirin and saki that give it a taste like no other.

Okonomiyaki mmmmmm A Japanese pancake with squid and vegies topped with bonito flakes, hp sause and mayo.

The great ocean rd.

This year in february my wife and i took a trip down to Victoria to check out the great ocean rd. There was some cold nights even in summer. But the days were 30+ celc and the scenery was fricken amazing. Below are a few Photo’s taken along the way.

 

 

 

My cheep camera does not do this place justice. I recommend a visit to the great ocean rd to anyone visiting victoria Australia. Around every corner is just postcard perfect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Swedish design

I went to Stockholm about 5 years ago. I love that city. While there i visited a museum and on display was lots of old laminated beechwood chairs. There simple effective design is amazing.

vintage surfboards

I would love a collection of vintage surfboards, maybe one from each era. 60’s 70’s 80’s.

The 60’s would have to be an old log 10ft+ and little rocker. The 70’s would be a single fin

swallow tail and also a twin fin. Then the eighties dream for me would be a Simon Anderson thruster.

Here’s some dream boards for me one day.

1960’s Australian muscle cars

I love the sleek lines of 1960’s aussie muscle cars they were hugely American influenced  with their big Coca cola bottle hips and beafy rear ends. Here’s a couple images of my favorites.

Paul renner

Paul Renner was the man who invented the typeface “Futura” . I love this font as it was so far ahead for its time.

In Germany around the thirties. There was still a huge gothic influence and it was a giant leap for Renner  to launch this

font in such dark times. Renner was later influenced by the  bauhaus movement. He is an icon of design.

The following image is a tribute poster to Paul renner by me. P.s. Futura is the font used on the famous landing on the moon Plaque .
