Ruff & Ready Furnishings
1908 14th St NW
Washington, DC 20009
(202) 667-7833
Ruff and Ready is a hipster’s dream. It is only open on the weekends. It is technically antique but has the stacked inventory of a thrift store. All prices end in the number 7 and the owner doesn’t know why, its just tradition. It’s not super cheap, but they will bargain with you. It is one of those perfect places that locals have known about for ages and new residents need to know about immediately. ~ from i spy things DC
“Ruff & Ready Furnishings is a classic, old-fashioned 'Junque' store that sells good, usable furniture," says owner Bill Troy, who unearths the majority of his pre-1950s finds from estates and at Sloan and Weschler auctions. The 5,000-square-foot space, divided into two areas by an outdoor space filled with wrought-iron tables, glass blocks now popular for room dividers, planters and various other garden furniture and accessories, is packed to the rafters.
Ottograph, a large-scale muralist, has been slinging paint since the age of ten. The Modern Art Museum of Antwerpen (Belgium) is home to a giant Ottograph mural. Otto also painted murals in Moscow, Tokyo, Berlin New York and San Fancisco. Ottograph is also operating the website “I Paint Everyday” www.ipainteveryday.com to encourage the tedious, yet necessary practice of serious painting.
Ottograph has worked for clients like Greenpeace, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, Mars, Ford, and Merecedes-Benz.

Dutch pop-art painter Ottograph.
Ottograph who graduated from the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, started to paint at the young age of ten, he liked the idea of painting on the walls of the streets of Amsterdam and has never stopped doing so. Now Ottograph’s art can be seen in galleries, on wall’s, in bars and shops around the world and not to mention the wall’s of the Modern Art Museum of Antwerpen, MoMu in Belgium.
Ottograph’s work is full of color and life. What Ottograph paints is something that reflects to society in general and is something that people can relate to.
On his own or to gether with his fellow artist/friends Ottograph has also set up several successful projects such as CIA (Central Illustration Agencey), which speaks for it self as well as KMDG a group of artist with a backround in illustration, graffiti and street-art who bring together artist from around the world to paint walls and commissions together.
Over the years Ottograph has accumulated several important client’s such as Nike, Mars, MercedesBenz, and Apple i-pod and i-phone just to name a few…

Issued in 2011. It is 1:24 scale.
It is the 60th Anniversary Inspection Limousine for China National Day.
A Limited Edition, mine is #3301.
To give some scale - the foreground is about 2 metres high and the distance from brown edge at the base to the buried tip at the sea's edge is 26 of my manly paces, say 20 metres.
A pissy attempt to capture the huge scale of the Queen Mary. The Dome next door (formerly Howard Hughes' warehouse for his plane The Spruce Goose) is 115 feet high and 400 feet wide. My recollection is the dome is totally dwarfed by her majesty.
