30th August 2011 in Architecture & Interiors

Welcome to a prime case of “you can look at the shiny things, but you can’t have”. This is actually pretty much the story of my life, to be honest. Like it physically pains me to walk through the “expensive-er” parts of stores and streets and such because there’s nothing worse than ogling all of the pretty things you know there’s a snowball’s chance in hell you can afford.

There’s an App for that? Probably. There’s a Tumblr for that? Almost certainly. There’s a Tumblr for just about everything under the sun, which is really quite glorious. My latest Tumblr obsession? FuckYeahSketches!, a blog dedicated to troves and troves of sketches. It’s like a giant art-gasm where the sketches go on and on and on for pages and the inspiration is bursting from the computer screen. I could scroll for hours on end.
