Seminal London design firm est. 1972 for architecture, industrial design, interiors, graphic design (John McConnell, who masterminded the branding for Vena Cava's favorite brand Biba- was a partner) and advertising. Masculine, essential, brilliant. If Pentagram was a man Id marry him.

PLAY-DOH

The art I like the most always seems like its meant for children. Im not quite sure what that means but this video makes me want to start making my own play-doh again.

CRAIGSLIST

Dragon Needed

I am looking for a mid-sized dragon to include in a photo shoot. I prefer either the Naga, Hydra, or Firedrake variety, not weighing more than a thousand pounds.

Live or stuffed, though preferably stuffed for purposes of safety and cost (NOTE: a trainer cannot be included in the budget of the shoot). I am also looking for dragon eggs, and will guarantee these returned in perfect condition, as I respect that they are fragile and easily broken.

Please also email pictures of the dragons. I am happy to accommodate the financial requests of the dragon owner, though my budget is modest.

Thanks.
