Please Give me your Input

Melissa Rufty left side cropped close I can’t believe I am approaching my 300th post. That’s 300 sessions on the computer…some longer and more in depth than others. Now that I have that little widget that introduces you to previous posts, I have had a chance to read some. My consensus? My apologies for all of my ramblings! Its funny (and probably best) that my blog has taken a “rendering” direction. I didn’t expect this.  I’m an Interior Designer, and that’s what I figure I do best, but drawing and rendering have always been the most exciting part of the design process for me, holding the most potential. It’s bringing your thoughts to paper. We all have a niche; and the realization of this has pointed me in a new exciting direction.

My sons have both recently graduated from film school; one in general film, specializing in boom work (recorded sound) and one in post sound. With the recent addition of a professional quality video camera, I’d like to put them to work creating a series of video podcasts featuring drawing for interior design. I need your input! Any ideas at this point would be so helpful…formatting, content, style…would you pay a small fee? (for each or a bundle)…tell me what you think!!

And thanks for sticking with me for 300 posts! I  count on all of your blogs to keep me up to date with what’s going on in the design world :)

Happy New Year!!

Shopping is amazing…I bought a great lucite necklace from Alexis Bittar. The Mac store is a glass box in the middle of the city you walk down into…with glass stairs.
