由前「+81」蜂賀亨擔任編集長的創意設計誌 「Quotation」（引號），於08年10月27日正式創刊了。現今網路科技的普及，很大程度地改変了人們的生活。不止讓“設計”変得更有趣，同時也跨越了国族及語言的界線。「Quotation」通過「創造性」的視点，提供最新的潮流情報、趨勢觀察，以及活躍人物的報導，連接世界。創刊号以「世界最新100個創意關鍵字」為主題，從東京起始，再到巴黎、倫敦、紐約、阿姆斯特丹等地進行創意漫遊。另外，「Quotation」也不拘泥於傳統平面角色，以文化觸媒角度出發，預將延伸舉辦展覧、研究會等實際活動，並計画在雑誌和網路上召開有關「創造性」的討論，值得關注今後動向。

I came across a few funny and silly Quotations, and I want to share with you.I hope their make you laugh.
很少有雑誌能經我介紹兩遍以上，除非對方真的夠紮實有料。自從08年底知名網絡設計創意雑誌「PingMag」（http://pingmag.jp/）宣告暫止休刊後，我便開始改以「QUOTATION」做為對外発信的主要情報來源。這本由前「+81」首腦蜂賀亨一手催生的設計創意季刊，集結了各領域的設計創意信息，以世界潮流的國際觀點出發，提供讀者犀利而獨特的評論報導，內容橫跨網絡以及平面媒体，彷如一份日本版的「MONOCLE」。好比說這一期就分別專訪了線上流行時装雑誌「Hint Fashion Magazine」代表Fabien Baron，以及香港頂尖設計團隊「AllRightsReserved」創作總監SK.Lam等人。有別於「PingMag」博客式的即時特性，「QUOTATION」以更靈活的策略截取兩者之長找到了平衡，我想這或許會成為未來傳統雑誌發展的一項指標趨勢。
Getting excited for a visit from our Michigan family whom we haven't seen in over a year.
Here is the little tote for my granddaughter to which I embroidered and appliqued the design
to an "already purchased" bag with a peacock motif on the other side!
For my other granddaughter I have created a felted nest to complement a bird motif!
. . . and one of my favorite, most frequently used quotations:
“Hope is the thing with feathers,
that perches in the soul,
and sings the tune without words,
and never stops at all.”
~ Emily Dickinson ~

The quotation on the poster is from the broadcaster Peter Clayton (1927-91), while presenting his Sounds of Jazz radio show sometime in the mid 1970s; speaking of pianist, band leader and composer Count Basie (1904-84), Clayton described his legendary economy of playing with the phrase 'He never played one note when none would do'- a lesson for most musicians, and a nice summing up of how we like our typography.
The wood type chosen for this particular print was chosen for its similarity to the legendary Blue Note label's typography. This two-colour poster was printed by hand on Naturalis Soft White Matt 120gsm paper, on our FAG Control 525 proofing press at our workshop in London, and was signed and numbered by the artists in a total edition of 100.

慶祝創刊週年的「QUOTATION」No.5予定將於10月発売。開度和用紙明顯改變，就連表紙設計也同步換新。本期收錄了上海、曼谷、台北、孟買等亞洲各都市的創造性景色。並大幅介紹結合商店、芸廊和出版的創意工作室：包括青山的CIBONE、北倫敦的Concrete Hemit、愛丁堡的It's Nice That，以及強力輸出東京文化的Tokyo Cultuart by Beams。另特別專訪了布魯塞爾時尚插画新秀Jarno Kettunen，以及曾出版《如何成為頂尖設計師》一書的英國資深設計家Adrian Shaughnessy等人。實際上本期最讓人注目的並非內容而是封面，因為採用的居然是國人熟悉的台北迪化街景，雖然不知是否因應中文版發行而刻意安排，但在視覺上確實已產生破題聚焦的效果，希望有朝一日下北沢世代也能成為「QUOTATION」受邀刊訪的對象。
finally finished this up for my shop. I love working with letters/text so this was way fun. Working on another one currently.
I created this poster using PhotoShop. It is meant to be printed at a size of 8x10 or 16x20. You are free to print and hang in your own space or classroom. Thanks!
Work Hard Quotes :
Hard work keeps the wrinkes out of the mind and spirit.
Quotation about hard work by Helena Rubinstein.
If you are lazy, you mind will become devil’s workshop and your body will become property of the hospital. Karma yoga is one yoga form of achieving eternity through hard work towards your life goal.
Work hard quotes compiled from brain quotes. Each morning sees some task begun. Each evening see it close. Something attempted each day and though hard work something is done. One who does this earns a night's repose. Work hard quotes written by Long fellow in his book, The Village Blacksmith.
Please note the intricate geometric pattern demonstrating a high skill and concern for an intricacy.
The whole aspect is almost Cycladic in style, of a kind that one finds in Eastern Mediterranean.

Note the decoration on this clay artefact which precedes by several millenia the intricate but not dissimilar pattern of sticthes that decorate the Romanian ethnic blouses.

NOTE:
Most of the above 160 Romanian women, in the best tradition of versatility, are true polymaths and therefore nearly each one of them falls in more than just one category, often three or more. This explains why adding the numbers of the 57 individual categories bears no relation to the actual total of the above 160 women included in Blouse Roumaine.

Partial and edited quotation from Sotheby's:
www.sothebys.com/en/departments/objects-of-vertu.html
"Known in the antique art trade as objets de vertu (in UK and Europe), or objects of vertu in the U.S., these are small objects created from precious materials either to be admired as works of art or, more often, conceived for a practical purpose. With new worldwide interest, this area of collecting has recently seen a strong revival. In other words, expensive toys and "alternative investments" for the super rich."

Alfred E Smith the beloved four-term New York Governor and 1928 Democratic Party presidential candidate received this cigar box following his unsuccessful bid for the White House. Smith was a renowned cigar aficionado who reputedly smoked at least 12 per day. The box's elaborate Moorish-style ornament recalls motifs found in Alhambra in Granada, Spain. Etched and engraved by hand, the box used nearly 12 pounds of silver and took at least four Tiffany artisans more than 104 hours to complete.

Today it was interesting to see just how popular Oscar Wilde in Merrion square is as a tourist attraction.
Danny Osborne is an artist born in Dorset, England in 1949.He is a resident of Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada and Cork, Ireland. Osborne studied at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art. He is best known for his public sculptures, particularly his Oscar Wilde Memorial Sculpture "The Quare in the Square in Merrion Square Park" (originally commissioned by Guinness Ireland Group for £45,000 and located across from Ireland's National Gallery.
I like to listen to the tourist guides explaining this public art installation to visitors from all parts of the world and how often their descriptions are incorrect or incomplete. But, of course, the exact details are not all that important.
In 2016 I mentioned that the restoration of the Oscar Wilde installation had been completed with the return of the two minor bronzes to their plinths. The stone plinths or pillars are covered in quotations from Wilde. One has a bronze figure of a pregnant naked woman kneeling on the top, while the other has a bronze male torso. One explanation is that they indicate Wilde's ambiguous sexuality and aesthetic sensibilities.
At the time I also reported that the orientation of the female nude has been corrected. It should be noted that the female nude is Oscar’s wife [Constance Lloyd] who was pregnant when Oscar had his first homosexual encounter. Originally she was facing Oscar but someone tried to steal the bronze and when the park staff restored it they installed it facing the wrong direction and then the tour guides came up with stories to explain why she had turned her back on her husband.
She is facing a different direction now but I am not 100% convinced that one could claim that she is now facing Oscar. Maybe she should be on the other plinth.
The sculptor Danny Osborne used complementary colour stones and also sought out stones with varying textures to give a more lifelike representation of Oscar Wilde than you would find in a conventional statue.
Wilde’s jacket is green stone which is complemented by red stone cuffs. The sculpture includes two stone pillars which are covered in quotations by Oscar Wilde. Placed on top of the pillars are two sculptures, one of the sculptures is a bronze figure of a pregnant naked woman kneeling this represents Oscars wife Constance, while the other pillar has a bronze male torso.
The two pillars which flank Oscar Wilde on both sides are used to set out his thoughts, opinions, witticisms on art and life for all to see and judge. These quotes were selected by a mixture of poets, public figures, artists, and scientists, who use Wilde’s own words to pay tribute to him.
